Eminem's music helps me to sleep, says Lewis Capaldi
The 28-year-old singer has revealed that he enjoys listening to the chart-topping rap star before he sleeps on a flight.
Lewis told Apple Music: "If I'm going to fall asleep, especially on a plane, I put on Eminem because I feel like it really puts me at ease."
Lewis finds Eminem's music and his own demos to be really soothing.
He said: "I listen to a lot of the older stuff like The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show – for some reason it lulls me into a delightful little sleep.
"Or I'll put on some of my own demos which also really knock me out."
Meanwhile, Lewis recently revealed that he'll "always be an anxious person".
The singer has stopped using anti-depressants and is now feeling the "best [he's] felt in a long time" - but Lewis is convinced that he'll always struggle with anxiety.
The Someone You Loved hitmaker said on a livestream: "I'm not on antidepressants anymore.
"It was f****** hard to get off it. You could say I survived getting off Sertraline but let's not get into that.
"This is happy stuff, I'm trying to share less."
Lewis admits that therapy has transformed his life.
The pop star said: "I've felt the best I've felt in a long time through therapy.
"I think I will always be an anxious person, accepting that's always going to be there for me is a big thing. It's about how I respond to anxiety."
Lewis recently acknowledged that therapy has played a "massive part" in his musical comeback.
The singer performed on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, two years after he was forced to end his set early amid his struggles with Tourette syndrome, and Lewis conceded that therapy has changed his life.
In a video chat with BetterHelp, he explained: "Therapy is the reason why I am able to be a musician again. I don't think I'll ever stop going to therapy after the impact it's had on my life over the past two years."

Eminem reveals why he never gets writer's block
Eminem never gets writer's block. The rapper, 52, whose prolific output spans 12 solo studio albums, said he beats the potential problem by constantly noting down ideas in a book he keeps with him at all times. He says in his new documentary Stans: 'Every time I write, there's different stages of it and that's one of the reasons why I keep a book now and I never get writer's block. 'I'm always able to go back in my book and have unlimited ideas. Sometimes I just write my rhyming words down and not the stuff in between, so that it can't be put together if someone finds it.' Eminem's new film tells his story in his voice and through famous fans including Ed Sheeran and Dr Dre. It comes after Eminem and Dr Dre were accused of leaving radio DJ Jo Whiley feeling 'tiny and stupid'. The BBC Radio 2 presenter, 60, made the allegation while speaking on her Dig It podcast in which she recalled being left devastated while interviewing the two rap superstars. She said: 'I remember interviewing Eminem and Dr Dre one time and that was horrible. I'd interviewed Eminem when he was very young and he was very shy and polite. 'He kept calling me 'ma'am' all the time and he was really, really sweet and humble. Then a couple of years later he came back on the show but with Dr Dre and the fame had happened and he was just this other creature altogether. 'They were just so playful with me – and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid.' Jo shared the story when asked if she had ever been starstruck during an interview. She spoke alongside her co-host Zoe Ball, 46, revealing the interview had been a 'really unpleasant experience'. Jo's reflection on the interview follows her candid discussion about her struggles with anxiety at the height of her DJing career in the 1990s. Speaking to Woman's Health, Jo explained: 'I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous. It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety. 'But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer.'

Eminem and Dr Dre have been accused of leaving radio DJ Jo Whiley feeling 'tiny and stupid'.

'They were just so playful with me – and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid.' Jo shared the story when asked if she had ever been starstruck during an interview. She spoke alongside her co-host Zoe Bell, 46, revealing the interview had been a 'really unpleasant experience'. Jo's reflection on the interview follows her candid discussion about her struggles with anxiety at the height of her DJing career in the 1990s. Speaking to Woman's Health, Jo explained: 'I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous. It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety. 'But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer.' She also addressed the culture surrounding 'lad mags' – lifestyle magazines from the 1990s and early 2000s targeted at men, often featuring women in underwear. Jo said: 'There was so much objectification and judgement of women and their bodies. It was a ludicrous time to be a woman, but I just kept my head down and weathered the storm.' Jo has been equally open about battling anxiety during the menopause, referencing her fellow presenter Davina McCall's campaign to encourage conversations around the subject. She said: 'I really lost myself at the time. I cried all the time. I mean, I cry a lot anyway but I cried all the time. I just felt very weak, and going to the gym and getting myself strong has played a really, really big part in helping me be the person I am today. It really saved me.'
