LEWIS Capaldi was forced to stop mid-song after a "scrap" broke out at a gig. 

The Glasgow-born singer-songwriter was playing at the Manchester AO Arena as part of his Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent tour.

He was performing Hold Me While You Wait when he was forced to stop due to a fight breaking out in the crowd.

He told the audience: "There's a scrap in the middle of the crowd there. 

"We're going to have to get them out. 

"You can't be fighting at the gigs."

The audience then booed at those who were allegedly fighting. 

He added: "We don't know what's happened exactly, you can't be fighting. 

"What a weird song to fight to. Bizarre."

He then restarted the song after it appears those causing the disturbance were removed.
