British singer Lewis Capaldi says he was ghosted by Justin Bieber: ‘Text me back, please'
The Scottish singer opened up about a night out with pop sensation Justin Bieber at a star-studded bash, but says the Baby singer failed to message him back.
Lewis, 28, said that he and Justin had exchanged numbers but after dropping him a message the following day, Lewis was left with no reply.
Chatting to Chris Stark on Capital Breakfast, Before You Go singer Lewis revealed: 'It was amazing, there was famous people, Charli xcx was there, Justin Bieber was there.
'Justin Bieber comes over and said 'Hey man, what's going on?' And I said, 'You don't remember my name?' And he said, 'Of course I do, you're Lewis Capaldi.'
'Me and Bieber had this super night together, like really lovely evening together. We didn't spend the night together, but we hung out and I'm like, 'Me and the Biebs are gonna be best pals, this is huge.''
But things didn't turn out as planned for the singers, as Lewis continued: 'And he's like, 'Man, make sure I get your number tomorrow.''
'I text him maybe the most sucking up his a*** text. I said, 'Just wanted to jump on, bro, last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang out with you, such a dude.'
'He likes it and doesn't reply. So if you're out there Bieber, wherever you are, text me back, please. Bieber aired me.'
Scots singer Lewis made his long-anticipated return to Glastonbury this summer, two years after he broke down on the very same stage.
Capaldi, who had Tourette's, took a two-year hiatus from performing after his 2023 Glasto set saw him tear up and suffer repeated tics.
But he made an emotional return as he swaggered onto the stage as a crowd of more than 100,000 people chanted his name.
The Bathgate-born popstar told fans the past two years had been 'difficult' but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve.
He said: 'Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying.
'But I said it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.'
Making light of his 2023 performance, which he was forced to cut short, he said: 'Second time's a charm on this one, everybody.
'It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time.'
Festival-goers teared up and chanted 'Oh Lewis Capaldi' as he treated them to the surprise 35-minute set with hits like Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.

Terence Stamp, 60s icon and Superman villain, dies
British actor Terence Stamp, a leading man of 1960s cinema before reinventing himself in a series of striking roles -- including as Superman villain General Zod -- has died aged 87, UK media cited his family announcing Sunday. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," media quoted the family saying. Stamp, exploded on to the screen in the 1960s as a leading man, even then sometimes playing troubled characters. At one point, he seemed to specialise in playing brooding villains Later still, he broke out of that typecasting to play a partying transgender woman in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". From Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem" to a villain's role in one of the "Star Wars" films, the handsome leading man captivated audiences in both art house films and Hollywood blockbusters. He lent his magnetic presence to more than 60 films during a career that spanned a range of genres. - Heroes and villains - The London actor from a working-class background, born on July 22, 1938, had his first breakthrough in in Peter Ustinov's "Billy Budd". His performance as a dashing young sailor hanged for killing one of his crewmates, earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for Best New Actor. Carving out a niche for his alluring depictions of broody villains, he won Best Actor at Cannes in 1965 for "The Collector", a twisted love story adapted by William Wyler from John Fowles's bestselling novel. His 1967 encounter with Federico Fellini was transformative. The Italian director was searching for the "most decadent English actor" for his segment in an adaptation of "Spirits of the Dead", a collection of Edgar Allen Poe stories. Fellini cast him as "Toby Dammit", a drunken actor seduced by the devil in the guise of a little girl. Another Italian great, Pasolini, who cast him in the cult classic "Theorem", saw him as a "boy of divine nature". In the 1969 film, Stamp played an enigmatic visitor who seduced an entire bourgeois Milanese family. - 'Kneel before Zod!' - He also had a relationship with Jean Shrimpton -- a model and beauty of the sixties -- before she left him towards the end of the decade. "I was so closely identified with the 1960s that when that era ended, I was finished with it," he once told French daily Liberation. But the dry spell did not last long. Stamp revived his career for some of his most popular roles, including in 1980's "Superman II", as Superman's arch-nemesis General Zod. His famous line from that film, "Kneel before Zod!" was spreading online in social media tributes after the news broke of his death. Other roles followed, including that of Bernadette, a transgender woman in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994), in which Stamp continued his exploration of human ambiguity, this time in fishnet stockings. He continued to pursue a wide-ranging career, jumping between big-budget productions such a villain's role in "The Phantom Menace" one of the Star Wars films to independent films like Stephen Frears's "The Hit".

Terence Stamp, star of Superman movies and Priscilla, dies aged 87
British actor Terence Stamp, best known for his roles in Superman and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, has died aged 87. The London-born actor starred opposite Christopher Reeve's Superman as the arch-villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II in the late 1970s. He first reached success in the 1960s and even auditioned for the part of James Bond, before landing roles in films such as Star Wars and Valkyrie. He died on Sunday morning, aged 87, his family said in a statement. The cause was not immediately known. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the family statement said. He is known to Australian audiences for his role portraying a transgender woman in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994. With its array of outlandish outfits and make-up, the film won best costume design at the Oscars and has inspired several stage musicals around the world. "It was only when I got there, and got through the fear, that it became one of the great experiences of my whole career," Stamp said. But after early success in the 1960s, the revival of his acting career nearly never happened at all. Stamp liked to recall how he was on the verge of becoming a tantric sex teacher at an ashram in India when, in 1977, he received a telegram from his London agent with news that he was being considered for the Superman film. At that point, he had been largely out of work for eight years. "I was on the night flight the next day," Stamp said in an interview with his publisher Watkins Books in 2015. Terence Henry Stamp was born in London's East End in 1938, the son of a tugboat coal stoker and a mother who Stamp said gave him his zest for life. As a child he endured the bombing of the city during World War II and the deprivations that followed. "The great blessing of my life is that I had the really hard bit at the beginning because we were really poor," he said. He left school to work initially as a messenger boy for an advertising firm and quickly moved up the ranks before he won a scholarship to go to drama school. Until then, he had kept his acting ambitions secret from his family for fear of disapproval. "I couldn't tell anyone I wanted to be an actor because it was out of the question. I would have been laughed at," he said. He shared a flat with another young London actor, Michael Caine, and landed the lead role in director Peter Ustinov's 1962 adaptation of Billy Budd, a story of brutality in the British navy in the 18th century. That role earned him an Academy Award nomination and filled him with pride. "To be cast by somebody like Ustinov was something that gave me a great deal of self-confidence in my film career," Stamp told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in 2019. "During the shooting, I just thought, 'Wow, this is it'." Famous for his good looks and impeccable dress sense, he formed one of Britain's most glamorous couples with Julie Christie, with whom he starred in Far From the Madding Crowd in 1967. But he said the love of his life was the model Jean Shrimpton. "When I lost her, then that also coincided with my career taking a dip," he said. After failing to land the role of James Bond to succeed Sean Connery, Stamp sought a change of scene. He appeared in Italian films and worked with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. "I view my life really as before and after Fellini," he said. "Being cast by him was the greatest compliment an actor like myself could get." It was while working in Rome – where he appeared in Pier Paolo Pasolini's Theorem in 1968 and A Season in Hell in 1971 — that Stamp met Indian spiritual speaker and writer Jiddu Krishnamurti in 1968. Krishnamurti taught the Englishman how to pause his thoughts and meditate, prompting Stamp to study yoga in India. Mumbai was his base but he spent long periods at the ashram in Pune, dressed in orange robes and growing his hair long, while learning the teachings of his yogi, including tantric sex. "There was a rumour around the ashram that he was preparing me to teach the tantric group," he said in the 2015 interview with Watkins Books. "There was a lot of action going on." After landing the role of General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in Superman in 1978 and its sequel in 1980, both times opposite Christopher Reeve, he went on to appear in a string of other films, including in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994. Other films included Valkyrie with Tom Cruise in 2008, The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon in 2011 and movies directed by Tim Burton. He counted Princess Diana among his friends. "It wasn't a formal thing, we'd just meet up for a cup of tea, or sometimes we'd have a long chat for an hour. Sometimes it would be very quick," he told the Daily Express newspaper in 2017. "The time I spent with her was a good time." In 2002, Stamp married for the first time at the age of 64 — to Elizabeth O'Rourke, a pharmacist, who was 35 years his junior. They divorced in 2008. Asked by the Stage 32 website how he got film directors to believe in his talent, Stamp said: "I believed in myself. "Originally, when I didn't get cast I told myself there was a lack of discernment in them. "This could be considered conceit. I look at it differently. Cherishing that divine spark in myself."
