West Lothian sensation Lewis Capaldi is back on social media and has left fans wondering if there's new music on the way.
The Whitburn star hasn't been on social media since January 2021 to focus on his second album, writing at the time that he enjoyed "the most incredible few years" and it meant "the world to have the support" of his fans.
However, now the 'Someone You Loved' singer has returned to social media by uploading to his Instagram stories and making the same image his profile photo. The date, September 2 is teased across a purple background as well as a reference to 'TikTok' and time stamps of 10pm British Summer Time (BST), 2pm Pacific Time (PT) and 5pm Eastern Time (ET).
Lewis, 25, only recently returned to the spotlight earlier this year to perform across a slew of festivals from the Sziget Festival in Hungary, the Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands, and TRNSMT where he took centre stage at Glasgow Green. Fans think his return to social media with a date in mind means new music could be coming sooner than we anticipated.
The singer admitted that, despite lockdown, he was "horribly lazy" which led to him pushing a number of scheduled shows back in the diary. During his headline set at Latitude festival, he told fans: "I just want to say now, I have no new music to play you.
"I rescheduled a lot of shows last year because I was like, ‘Guys, I need to finish my new album’. And I was supposed to do it, but I am horribly lazy."
Fans took to social media after the singers recent post to share their excitement at the mystery announcement. One tweeted: "olly murs and lewis capaldi teasing new music on this fine saturday. they're coming back"
"LEWIS CAPALDI IS COMING BACK YALL HE DIDN'T LIWD IN CRACOW THAT NEW MUSIC IS COMING REALLY SOON AAAAHAHAHCJDKDKKL," penned another. A third wrote: "If Lewis Capaldi is realising new music on the 2nd I’ll cry w happiness about time!"
Another said: " @LewisCapaldi NEW MUSIC BABY WHOOOOOOOOOO" A fifth penned: ""Having Lewis Capaldi update socials is quite possibly one of the best things that’s happened to me today. Excited is an understatement"
