Lewis Capaldi awkwardly stops fight in crowd at concert in the most Lewis Capaldi way

Lewis Capaldi went full, well, Lewis Capaldi as he was forced to halt his gig at Manchester's AO Arena after spotting members of the crowd fighting.

The 26-year-old took the stage in Manchester yesterday (18 January) as part of his ongoing 'Broken By Desire to be Heavenly Sent' tour across the UK and Europe. See how he chose to address the fight here:

Alerting security to the fight, Capaldi said: "They are scrapping in the crowd there."

After awkwardly announcing news of the altercation, he added: "Erm, we are going to have to get them out."

The lights came up and some audience members booed at the interruption, but Capaldi told the crowd: "We can't be fighting."

"He started the song again after taking the mick out of them for fighting. He started saying it was daft how anyone could fight to that song," they added.

Capaldi appeased the crowd by starting 'Hold Me While You Wait' again from the beginning, though it's unclear whether the audience members who were fighting were allowed to stay and watch the rest of the concert afterwards.

Concertgoers made it clear they still enjoyed the show even after the unexpected disruption, with many later taking to Twitter to note it made the gig all the more unique.

"A packed out arena for @LewisCapaldi what an amazing guy with an amazing voice! Only in Manchester do you need to stop the gig because there’s a fight during a ballad," one fan wrote.

Another tagged the singer, asking: "@LewisCapaldi how do you feel knowing you have the power to cause a fight while singing."

Capaldi is set to continue his tour tonight in Liverpool, though hopefully no one will feel the need to throw any punches over his emotional tracks this time.
