Sofia said: “R.I.P. is not only a song, but a message that we all need to hear.

Currently enjoying a third week at No1 with Someone You Loved, the Scot even got sacked from his job at an ice cream stand after just one hour.
Lewis told me: “I had a trial shift in my local shopping centre, but they sent me home after an hour because I couldn’t scoop ice cream properly.
“Every time I tried to apply for jobs in retail, I wouldn’t get it because my only experience was playing shows in pubs.
“It might have been because I was a terrible candidate with a shockingly bad CV. Either is plausible.”
Lewis, who releases his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent in May, explained: “I was really lucky to realise I wanted to be a singer from the age of four.
“I saw a show called The Beatles At The BBC, a bunch of singers covering and I was blown away by singing With A Little Help From My Friends.

Lewis is playing at a host of summer festivals, including The Great Escape, Tramlines, Truck, Boardmasters, Victorious and Weekender – and he welcomes undies being chucked at him.
He joked: “Someone threw underwear on stage at my last tour.
“That was a relief, as I’d run out of clean pants.”

singles as an aesthetic choice, a statement of where we are as a band.
“We grew up with Suffragette City and Metal Guru flying out of the radio. The singles were great. Public Image by sounded like nothing else.
and Madonna made amazing hits. That has been our approach. I’ve always loved Top 40 pop radio. I love greatest hits albums.
“Great singles can get out into the world and show people an alternative way of thinking. They make you feel less alone.”
