Scots family post hilarious video pleading with Lewis Capaldi to play at wedding after singer pulls out

What do you do when a wedding singer pulls out at the last minute? - you appeal to one of the biggest artists in the world to .

Tony Collins, from Newton Mearns, is currently in Melbourne, for his sister's wedding which takes place tomorrow, and has called on to perform for guests after their singer pulled out.

In a post on Facebook, Collins calls on the artist to fill in on their special day as he's due to be on tour in Australia.

He says in the clip: "My little sister Beth is getting married tomorrow but her singer has cancelled last minute.

"We heard you're coming to town. Are you free for a wee gig?

"We promise lots of bevvy.

"We love you so please come to the wedding."

Family members then chime in with some unusual enticements, including lemons, to try and convince Capaldi to come along.

Beth Collins and her fiance Carlo Cosner, from Melbourne, will tie the knot at a country winery called Tanglewood Estate near the Victoria city tomorrow.

The singer pulled out after telling the pair she said she, "needs to take her baby to Syndey". 

In the post on social media Tony tags Capaldi, he wrote: " soon to be Australia's sweetheart, we need you man!

"My wee sister's wedding singer for tomorrow cancelled and we heard you're coming to town!

"Can we have a song please please please."

Explaining the reasoning behind the appeal, Tony told the Record: "We are all huge Lewis Capaldi fans and I saw that he was heading to Melbourne from an Instagram post he did this morning - so I just thought to chance asking him to come!

"We know it's a long shot and we would be chuffed just for a message or a few lines of a song from Bathgate's Beyonce, America's sweetheart and the King of Scotland himself."

The Someone You Loved singer is heading Down Under for a number of gigs at the start of January before hitting Asia for a mini tour later in the month.
