Lewis Capaldi may have sold out London’s O2 arena, but his celebrity status and £7.5million fortune didn’t stop him from riding the tube ahead of Wednesday’s gig.
The Someone You Loved singer, 28, has boosted his fortune drastically over the years despite taking a career hiatus in 2023 amid his battle with Tourette’s Syndrome.
His accounts firm Face Like Thunder was valued at £4,311,366 in December 2024, his second business, Face Like Thunder Touring, had £400,000 sitting in the bank as of last year and he also owns a £3million home in London.
But, despite having multi-million-pound assets, Lewis has proved that he is choosing not to live a million-pound lifestyle as he was spotted at North Greenwich station ahead of his show.
Posing for an Instagram selfie alongside AllOnTheBoard’s Ian Redpath and Jeremy Chopra, Lewis looked happy as he smiled and put a thumbs up alongside the two authors.
They posed in front of the service information board, which displayed a heartfelt poem to celebrate Lewis’s appearance as the two fans confessed it was ‘wonderful’ to meet him.

Lewis – who is set to release his single, Something In The Heavens, at 5pm on Thursday – has planned to perform 17 dates across the UK and Ireland starting this month after his comeback tour sold out in seconds.
Despite taking time off from touring, Lewis has continued to rake in the cash thanks to his songwriting business.
As well as profiting from his royalties, Lewis, who set up his touring firm in 2017, is the sole director of all his companies and owns all the shares in them.
Amongst his earnings, Lewis lives in a £3million London pad in Hampstead alongside A-lister neighbour Harry Styles.
A source told The Sun in April 2024: ‘Lewis has found a home for life here and everyone loves him. He is a regular in a few of the local pubs and has got great banter with the locals.
‘Lewis is a big football fan and has said he’d be keen to get involved if the chance came up.
‘He’s got a load of famous mates like Harry Styles, in the area, and Liam Gallagher and Patrick Kielty live nearby too, so he could band together a whole team to take on the locals.’
Lewis was born in Glasgow, but moved to East Whitburn in West Lothian with his family when he was four.

He is renowned for topping the charts with his hit single Someone You Loved and many famed albums.
The Glaswegian singer made his return to music earlier this year with an epic and emotional performance at Glastonbury.
It came almost exactly two years after he broke down on the very same stage, prompting a hiatus during which Lewis was forced to focus on improving both his physical and mental health.
But after taking some time away from the limelight and the ‘pressures’ of being a star, Capaldi says that he’s now ‘doing much better’ and is no longer taking the antidepressant Sertraline.
‘I’m not on antidepressants anymore,’ Lewis – who marked his return with the new track Survive which has soared to Number 1 – told fans on a livestream.
‘It was f*****g hard to get off it. You could say I survived getting off Sertraline but let’s not get into that. This is happy stuff, I’m trying to share less.’
He later added: ‘I’ve felt the best I’ve felt in a long time through therapy.
‘I think I will always be an anxious person, accepting that’s always going to be there for me is a big thing. It’s about how I respond to anxiety.’
