After a friendly encounter at a party, Lewis Capaldi was left with Justin Bieber’s “Ghost.”
In an interview with Capital FM’s Chris Stark on Friday, Aug. 15, the 28-year-old “Someone You Loved” performer recalled meeting the Swag singer at a party in Los Angeles. At the time, Capaldi was convinced Bieber, 31, had no idea who he was.
“Bieber comes over to me and he’s like, ‘Hey man, what’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘You don’t know who I am, you don’t know my name?'” Capaldi recalled.
He continued, “And he’s like, ‘Of course I do — it’s Lewis Capaldi’ and me and Bieber have this super night, this really lovely evening together… we hang out and I’m like, ‘Me and the Biebs are going to be best pals; this is huge.'”
Capaldi was even more shocked when Bieber said to “make sure I get your number tomorrow.” Keeping his word, Capaldi sent him a nice message.
He sent Bieber, “‘Just wanted to jump on bro and say last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang with you, such a dude,’ all this stuff.”

In July, Capaldi appeared on an episode of Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast and further opened up about his Glastonbury set in 2023.
“When it happened and when it was happening, it was like the lowest moment of my life, and it was horrible,” he recalled.
“I had this moment where I was onstage like two, three songs in, I was like, ‘This is the last time I’m going to play a gig for a long time,'” he continued. “I need to try and get through the rest of the show, but when I come off, I’m done.”
After he came offstage, he realized that the moment was “probably the best thing that ever happened to me” because he “wouldn’t have stopped otherwise.”
Weeks before the Glastonbury set, Capaldi had a similar episode in Chicago where he found himself “backstage convulsing and having this crazy panic attack.”
He spent the next two years working on his mental health and focused on therapy, trying to reduce stressors and getting himself into a “much better headspace.”
“I had no choice but to confront things,” he said,
