Lewis Capaldi invites Dublin man on stage during gig in Olympia Theatre and he rocks the stage

Lewis Capaldi gave an Irish man a night he won't forget after inviting him on stage to perform the hit song 'bruises'.

During Capaldi's gig in the Olympia Theatre on Thursday night the Scottish man invited Sean McGrath on stage.

After a few moments preparing the right key for the song, Capaldi told McGrath: "I'll sing the first line and then it's f****** all yours man."

The Dublin native stepped up to sing and the crowd went wild.

As Lewis paced around the stage cheering on Sean, the crowd are heard singing along with him.

McGrath, 24, who is the lead singer in a band called Stolen City, told the Irish Mirror: "Nerves actually weren't too much of a problem.

"I'm in a band called Stolen City, so that wasn't really a problem for me, but, I have to say I was very worried that I'd mess up.

"Since Lewis has emerged I've been a massive fan literally from day one when he released Bruises.

"When I walked on stage and saw the three tiers lit up I was in shock more so than anything but I was looked after really well by everyone and the butterflies still haven't gone away.

"Lewis was really friendly. When the crowd screamed for me I basically went into shock.

"I panicked and I looked at Lewis and he goes, 'Keep f****** singing mate'.

"I turned back to the crowd and just embraced it."

The video of Sean's performance has gone viral on social media.

You can check out his band here at Stolen City.
