A new video for the single was released yesterday evening.

His debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent was released on May 17, becoming the fastest-selling album of the year and outselling all of the top 10 combined in the UK and Ireland.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, with his debut release Bruises, Lewis has sold out three back-to-back headline tours.

Known as much for his melancholy music as his comedic stage persona (he took to the stage at Glastonbury in Oasis-style garb after Noel Gallagher insulted him), the young Scot delighted fans when he played in Scarborough earlier this summer and will no doubt bring s sense of fun and frivolity to tonight's proceedings.
