Giant 'Scottish Beyonce' Lewis Capaldi tribute pops up to celebrate TRNSMT appearance

A fantastic "Scottish Beyonce" tribute to Lewis Capaldi has popped up ahead of his performance at TRNSMT this weekend.

The impressive work, which is currently on display in Glasgow, depicts the West Lothian star inside a love heart on a t-shirt – as a nod to THAT Glastonbury entrance last month.

Capaldi was a late addition to Sunday's TRNSMT line-up, stepping in as a late replacement for Snow Patrol who had to pull out for medical reasons.

And our sister title Glasgow Live reports that the striking tribute comes courtesy of shop Teeshirt Nation, which is located in the Trongate area of the city centre.

Manager Jane Sweeney said: "We haven't done the big t-shirt advert since The Stone Roses played at Glasgow Green back in 2013 – then we put up our own tribute to Ian Brown with his iconic 'Fools Gold' t-shirt.

"We thought, everybody loves Lewis Capaldi. He is absolutely brilliant and a funny wee guy. Scotland is dead proud of him. And it's a wee play on the beef he has with Noel Gallagher also.

"Maybe he'll come by and get his photo taken underneath before his set tomorrow."

While Capaldi's TRNSMT set may not be until tomorrow (Sunday) one of his biggest hits has already been heard on the main stage.

Stormzy last night launched into a cover of Someone You Loved during his brilliant headline set.

He told the crowd: "Lewis Capaldi is a f****** bad boy. Since I know he's playing at TRNSMT, I want to do something for the home crowd.

"He's a legend."

For anyone heading through to TRNSMT to see Lewis Capaldi tomorrow, you can see the tribute on a wall at the junction of King Street and Kings Court in Glasgow.

Capaldi will take to the main stage before headliner George Ezra. Other acts on the bill include Emeli Sande, The Kooks, Circa Waves and The Wombats.
