Lewis Capaldi says drummer was in ‘floods of tears' at secret Glastonbury set
Speaking about how he relaxes, the Scottish singer said: 'I use music in meditation a lot – ambient music, not what I usually listen to. But when I'm going to bed, I'll listen to a lot of green noise and rain noises, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep, to soothe me.

Tom Cruise, 63, and his 'new love' Ana de Armas, 37, enjoy night at Oasis' Wembley concert - despite Gallagher brothers hating his films
Tom Cruise and his 'new love' interest Ana de Armas enjoyed a night out at Oasis' concert over the weekend - despite the Gallagher brothers claiming to hate his films. The actor, 63, and the Blonde actress, 37, were spotted in the crowd at Wembley with DJ Goldie sharing a selfie with him during the set. During a past interview Noel once branded Tom a 'little f***er' - however all appears to have been forgiven. Speaking in their 2007 documentary, Lord Don't Slow Me Down, the famously outspoken brother's gave their opinion on the actor. 'Tom Cruise is a f***ing c**t. Midget, he's a midget. He's a little f***er and he's not been in one good film,' Noel said while speaking backstage during their Don't Believe the Truth world tour in 2005. Someone asked: 'What about Cocktail?' 'Cocktail's great,' Liam replied, before adding: 'I hate Tom Cruise. B*****d. Him and Michael Owen. F***ing c**ts.' Tom and Ana were first linked in February and have been spotted travelling together on many occasions since then. The Mission Impossible star was among a number of famous faces in the crowd, turning up to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on stage in front of 90,000 fans. He was seen in the seated section, keeping things low-key as he enjoyed the show alongside DJ Goldie. Tom gave a thumbs-up in the snap as he enjoyed the electric atmosphere of the long-awaited gig. It comes after it was reported that Tom was expected to attend Friday's concert, after he was spotted at Oasis' set during Glastonbury last year. And while millions of fans scrambled for tickets to the reunion - many limited to just four per person - the Hollywood star reportedly pulled some strings, according to the Mirror. It's said that Tom managed to secure up to 20 tickets so he could bring a group of friends along for the night. A source close to the band told the publication: 'Tom is excited to see the gig, and his friends were thrilled he was able to offer them tickets too. They are hard for even the biggest and richest people to secure.' 'He is taking up to 20 people with him, and must be one of the few people on this tour who will be able to attend with such a big group.' MailOnline has contacted Tom's representative for comment. Oasis made a long-awaited return to London on Friday, playing their first gig in the city in over 16 years. Following a series of homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock legends, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium.

Lewis Capaldi says drummer was in ‘floods of tears' at secret Glastonbury set
The 28-year-old performed a 35-minute surprise performance on the Pyramid stage, having taken a two-year break from performing after his last appearance at the Somerset festival, and revealed he had to leak his own secret set after he was worried people would not turn up. Capaldi said: 'I'm not great at keeping secrets, I wanted it to be a surprise, but we had to start leaking it out a couple of weeks before because it would have been strange to come out to an empty field. 'By that weekend it was the worst-kept secret. It was genuinely the best day of my life, I loved every moment of it. It was weird, I knew it was going to be fine this time around. I had nerves and butterflies, but it wasn't the same as 2023 when I was so stressed and I knew something bad was going to happen. It was spectacular Lewis Capaldi 'Almost immediately, I was overcome with emotion and I started to well up, so I was like, 'get it together', but then I turned around and looked at my drummer, and he was in floods of tears. 'It was weird, I knew it was going to be fine this time around. I had nerves and butterflies, but it wasn't the same as 2023 when I was so stressed and I knew something bad was going to happen. It was spectacular.' Capaldi was speaking as part of the launch of Apple Music's Music That Soothes Me series of curated playlists, with the singer himself putting together a track list including the likes of Fontaines DC, Lana Del Rey and The 1975. The series, which features music intended to help listeners relax and unwind, also features playlists curated by Renee Rapp and Bring Me The Horizon. Speaking about how he relaxes, the Scottish singer said: 'I use music in meditation a lot – ambient music, not what I usually listen to. But when I'm going to bed, I'll listen to a lot of green noise and rain noises, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep, to soothe me. 'Slowing down and being outside helps, I like meditation, and I also go to therapy, which has really helped me with stress. 'I'm not someone who enjoys going for long walks or spending a ton of time outside, but I force myself to do it these days because the effect it has on my mood and my stress levels is just mind-blowing. 'I think for a long time I was either working or going to the pub, and these days I spend a lot more time with friends in a way that isn't just going out. Lewis Capaldi performing on his Glastonbury return (Yui Mok/PA) 'Doing wholesome things with friends is always a nice change. Get outside, go to therapy, do some meditation and hang out with people.' The singer says he plays the 'older' work of rapper Eminem and his own demos to relax, joking that the latter 'really knocks me out'. Capaldi recently said he had the 'most incredible, surreal feeling' after his 17-date UK and Ireland comeback tour sold out. During the 2025 Glastonbury show, Capaldi performed his new track Survive, which has since gone to number one on the singles chart, and ended his performance with Someone You Loved, the track that Glastonbury crowds helped him to sing when he struggled with his Tourette symptoms in 2023. Tourette syndrome causes sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Prior to the festival slot, the Glaswegian star performed a number of secret gigs and guest appearances, saying in an interview with therapy charity BetterHelp that he felt a 'rush of adrenaline' before managing to calm himself before his first warm-up gig in Edinburgh. Capaldi has had six UK number one singles, including Before You Go, Pointless and Wish You The Best. He has also seen both of his studio albums reach number one in the UK albums chart.
