Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi left fans in stitches during his Glastonbury performance with an unexpected joke about starting a family with US talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
The Grammy-nominated artist, known for his soulful ballads and self-deprecating humour, paused between songs to share a bizarre yet hilarious revelation with the crowd. "I was backstage earlier, and Jimmy Fallon came up to me," Capaldi said, grinning. "He told me, 'Lewis, I think we should have a baby together.'"
The audience erupted in laughter as Capaldi continued with perfect comedic timing: "I said, 'Jimmy, I don't think that's biologically possible.' But he insisted - 'No, Lewis, I really think we should.' So... we'll see how that goes."
A Festival Full of Surprises
Capaldi's Glastonbury set was packed with his signature blend of emotional performances and unexpected comedy moments. The 27-year-old artist, who recently took a break from touring to focus on his mental health, appeared in high spirits as he delivered hits like "Someone You Loved" and "Before You Go".
His playful banter with the crowd included several other humorous anecdotes, but the Jimmy Fallon baby joke undoubtedly became the most talked-about moment of his performance.
Fallon and Capaldi's Bromance
The two entertainers have developed a warm friendship since Capaldi first appeared on The Tonight Show in 2019. Their chemistry was evident during multiple interviews, where Fallon often joined in with Capaldi's self-mocking humour.
While the baby comment was clearly in jest, fans on social media have already started imagining what a "Capaldi-Fallon" child might look like, with many creating humorous memes and Photoshop edits.
As Glastonbury continues to deliver unforgettable moments, Capaldi's set proved once again why he's become one of Britain's most beloved musical talents - not just for his voice, but for his ability to connect with audiences through both music and laughter.
