Lewis Capaldi reveals hilarious way he makes himself fall asleep at night
Lewis Capaldi has revealed his highly unconventional method of getting to sleep and it's with the help of one legendary US rapper. Speaking to Apple Music ahead of the launch of their new curated playlist series, Music That Soothes Me, the beloved Scots singer said he opts to listen to some old school rap by one particular music legend when his head touches the pillow at night.
That artist is Eminem, known for his very fast paced rhymes and X-rated lyrics. The Someone You Loved singer explained: '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.
'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.'
Lewis, who recently made his comeback to the limelight, has opened up about his first time returning to the stage as he admitted that he thought he would never perform again, The Sun reports.
The 28-year-old says he is no longer taking antidepressant Sertraline after successfully defeating his demons and getting his mental health back in check.
However, Lewis said he has also learned to accept that he will always have some degree of anxiety.

The singer said: 'I am doing much better. I'm not on antidepressants any more.'
Referencing his new No1 single Survive, Lewis recently told fans during a live stream: 'It was f***ing hard to get off it.
"You could say I've survived getting off Sertraline but let's not get into that. This is happy stuff. I'm trying to share less.'
The Hold Me While You Wait singer made his return to music last month on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage as the festival's surprise act.
Lewis had previously stepped back from singing, cancelling all performances and taking a two year break, after his Glastonbury performance in 2023 saw him struggle so badly with his Tourette's and anxiety that the crowds had to finish his songs for him.
Reflecting on his meltdown on stage in 2023 on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lewis said: "The first time did not go well. I had what the children would refer to as a bit of a menty B. A bit of a mental breakdown on stage. Nothing too serious.
"I have Tourettes so I used to tic quite a lot and I still do but I used to do this thing with my shoulder and it became really uncontrollable and I had a panic attack on stage at Glastonbury and I couldn't finish the song.
"It happened a couple of times at shows and stuff but I think because this one was so publicised and had so many eyes on it, it really made me think I need to go and get this sorted, I can't keep doing this to myself."
However, Lewis is now back with a bang. With a UK and worldwide tour on the way this year and a brand new No.1 single, Capaldi said that his iconic Glastonbury return was "probably the best day of my life."

Meanwhile, Rochelle - who was in The Saturdays band with Frankie since 2007 - uploaded an equally thought-provoking message about "choosing partners wisely." Frankie's mystery message was also also posted after her feud with Myleene Klass came to light - after a row over the Hear'Say singer's "cheating" ex. We then reported how ITV has stepped in to manage strained relations between Frankie, Rochelle, and Myleene. Yet now Rochelle has appeared to support Frankie in a rare move, hitting the heart-shaped like button on her recent Instagram upload.

Meanwhile, Frankie and Myleene have not appeared on Loose Women together since an 'awkward' episode last December.

'Truly amazing' children's TV icon died after battling cancer
Carol Lee Scott's Grotbags appeared among a line-up of characters on Emu's World. An adored star of children's TV in the 1980s and 1990s died following a battle with cancer. Carol Lee Scott was best known for appearing in the ITV show Emu's World in the 1980s. Alongside the iconic puppet and handler duo of Rod Hull and Emu, she played Grotbags, a green witch in a flowing cape. The character clumsily attempted to exert her magical powers over children, while keeping her minion Croc under control by hitting him with her bazazzer, a parasol-shaped wand topped with a pointing finger. Her career launched after moving from Somerset, where she was born in 1942, to London, where she worked in a music shop by day and sang in pubs by night, the Mirror reports. She then worked as an entertainer at Pontins holiday resort for 19 years, at the same time performing at working men's clubs. She first met Rod Hull in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire one summer, after he had been commissioned to come up with a new TV programme. Her iconic character first appeared on Emu's World in 1982, with the show remaining on air for several series runs. In 1991, she gave her voice to the animated spin-off Rod 'n' Emu, before starring in her own self-titled show and Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. Tragically, she died following a cancer battle on July 4, 2017, at the age of 74. Her niece Gina Mear announced the sad news on social media, writing: "My dear aunty Carol passed away yesterday, RIP #Grotbags, I will miss you." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

She also shared images of Carol done up in her Grotbags make-up, and another holding a baby. The post prompted several tributes from fans. One wrote: "Carol Ann Lee was truly amazing as #Grotbags just the right amount of scary for young children," Another commented: "I'm so sorry for your loss. Grotbags was a fantastic part of my childhood. She was my favourite part of The Pink Windmill." A third said: "Sad to hear the passing of Carol Lee Scott who played #Grotbags on TV. Genuinely scary/entertaining to the young me. A great actress. RIP." Figures from the entertainment industry also gave their condolences, including comedian Rufus Hound, who shared: "Very sorry for your loss. An icon for folk of my generation. Thank you for her." The late Rod Hull tragically died aged just 63 in 1999, after falling from a roof while adjusting his TV aerial. He would have turned 90 next week, on August 13.

Liam Gallagher shows support for brother Paul by moving him into home
Liam Gallagher has reportedly moved brother Paul Gallagher into his £4million mansion ahead of his court date this month. 59-year-old Paul, the older brother of Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel, is set to appear at Westminster magistrates' court on August 27. He is currently on bail after being accused of rape, strangulation and coercive control. The DJ faces a total of 11 charges, which include sexual assault, actual bodily harm and threats to kill – allegations which he has strongly denied. According to The Sun, younger brother Liam is supporting his older sibling by allowing him to stay at his home in North London. A source for the publication also reports that Liam flew Paul to the band's latest gig in Edinburgh, utilising a £3.5million private jet. Pictures obtained by The Sun on Sunday depict Liam and Paul arriving at Luton airport, where they laughed and joked before hopping on the private jet together. Another image shows Paul at Liam's London mansion, dragging wheely luggage behind him as he carries a heavy backpack. Oasis will perform in Edinburgh again on Tuesday, before heading to their next tour stop in Dublin. A source told the publication: 'Liam is supporting Paul through this. He invited him to stay with him at his house before they travelled to Edinburgh. 'Paul looked like he was moving in and had two large suitcases. When he was at the airport he only had one smaller case.' 'It says a lot about Liam. He has an incredibly hectic schedule at the moment because of the tour — but he wants to be there for his big brother.' The third Gallagher sibling has never been a member of Oasis, but worked as a DJ and photographer while the band toured. He is set to play a DJ set at the Ultimate Oasis Weekender after-show party at The Grand Social in Dublin on August 16 and 17. He will appear in court in Westminster 11 days later, answering to charges confirmed by the Metropolitan Police. A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police told Metro: 'A man has been charged with numerous offences – including rape, coercive control and sexual assault. More Trending 'Paul Gallagher, 59, of Manor Park Road, East Finchley, has been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. 'The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022 – 2024. The charges follow an investigation which commenced in 2024. A woman is being supported by specially-trained officers.' has contacted Liam Gallagher's representatives for comment. Got a story?
