An 11-year-old fan named Evie-Mae experienced a dream come true after meeting singer Lewis Capaldi following his concert in Exeter at the end of June. Evie-Mae, who has endured four brain surgeries, held a sign at the gig, which caught Capaldi's attention.
The sign creatively incorporated his song titles, expressing her gratitude and admiration. Capaldi responded by inviting her on stage for a photograph, a moment Evie-Mae described as incredibly exciting and fulfilling.
Her mother, Amy, revealed she purchased the concert tickets as a Christmas present, recognizing Capaldi's advocacy for mental health. Evie-Mae shared that Capaldi's song 'Survive' is particularly meaningful due to her personal health journey.
Evie-Mae previously managed hydrocephalus, a condition requiring her first surgery at eight months old, followed by three more operations. She has since outgrown the condition, a development that surprised her family.
