What a moment! In a gesture that's left England fans beaming with pride, Scottish singing sensation Lewis Capaldi treated the entire pub to a £2,000 drinks tab in Mayfair's Marlborough after the Three Lions' thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico. It was a night to remember for all patrons, and Capaldi's generosity will be etched in the memories of those who witnessed it.
Capaldi, still basking in the spirit of sportsmanship despite his own national team Scotland's World Cup exit, joined pop star Rita Ora as they watched the match unfold. When the final whistle blew, confirming England's win, Capaldi instructed bar staff to put all subsequent drinks on his tab – and the bill soon racked up a staggering £2,000.
A fan described it as "a massive treat and a really lovely gesture, especially from a Scotland fan" – high praise indeed for the 'Someone You Loved' singer. Capaldi was hailed as "a proper legend" by those who approached him, with one reveller even saying he was "as amiable as can be". And in true sporting spirit, Rita Ora joined in the fun, sharing clips of the lively pub atmosphere on social media and captioning one with: "NOTHING beats a London pub game EVER… It's coming home!!!"
The display of camaraderie and sportsmanship from Capaldi comes ahead of an action-packed period for the singer – he's set to headline two major shows at BST Hyde Park this weekend, with an extra concert added due to overwhelming demand. He'll be supported by Conan Gray and Jacob Alon on both nights before embarking on his summer tour, which includes a performance at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival on July 14th.
Capaldi's music career has been nothing short of phenomenal – with multiple Brit Awards nominations and wins under his belt, including British Male Solo Artist and British Song of the Year. His debut album 'Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent' was a massive commercial success in the UK, topping the charts as the best-selling album of both 2019 and 2020.
