Paolo Nutini shares love for Nicola Sturgeon during Hydro gig

Paolo Nutini declared his love for Nicola Sturgeon during Tuesday night's show in Glasgow.

The Paisley singer told attendees that he has "a lot of love for Nicola Sturgeon" after performing his hit song Iron Sky, from his 2014 album Caustic Love. The Scots singer kicked off his UK tour in October after releasing his first new album in eight years earlier this year.

Paolo, 35, delighted fans after taking to the stage and praising Scotland's First Minister at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow this week. MSP Karen Adam took to Twitter to praise the singer for his special shout-out.

She said: “Tonight at the OVO after singing Iron Sky @paolonutini says ‘just to let you know, I’ve got a lot of love for @NicolaSturgeon’. Incredible gig.”

Kelly Given, star of Channel 4’s Make Me Prime Minister, also praised Nutini for his comment. "@PaoloNutini just told the hydro he loves @NicolaSturgeon, as if we needed another reason to stan x," she wrote.

Another Twitter user replied that one of Nutini’s songs, Iron Sky, was a “confirmed Yes anthem”.

Another added: “@NicolaSturgeon had to let you know you had a special mention from our @PaoloNutini tonight. Was so proud to hear him voice his political opinion that, publicly, he doesn’t normally do.”

Paolo Nutini will continue his stint performing at Glasgow's OVO Hydro Arena tonight (December 14), Friday (December 16), Sunday (December 18) and next Tuesday (December 20).
