One fan wrote, “I was shaking so bad, I’m still crying,” while another added, “I cried and screamed, I had a great night.”
A third fan added, “Best night ever,” while a fourth wrote, “The best thing we’ve ever seen at a concert and we weren’t even there!”
It comes after Lewis took over Netflix’s Instagram account on Thursday for a very chaotic series of stories.
To coincide with the release of his documentary, How I’m Feeling Now, the singer, 26, took part in a Q&A with fans – where he joked about his penis, ‘man boobs’ and kissing his friend Niall Horan .
He then went on to tell the streaming service’s 2.8 million UK followers that he “would have ended up in porn” had he not pursued a career in music.
When asked to “rate the likelihood of you and Niall having a cheeky kiss on a night out,” Lewis mimicked a drooling hug as he wrote, “This noise is haunting.”
One entry read, “You have man boobs,” to which he replied, “Maybe.”
Another asked, “Are you circumcised or uncircumcised?” and the Forget Me hitmaker used his quick wit to reply.

He said, “It’s unadulterated, yes, it’s a real raw look at my life and I hope you enjoy it.” It was crazy making this documentary… Oh you mean my penis? Uncircumcised.’
Lewis’s fans burst into tears on Wednesday as he candidly discussed how his mental health struggles nearly ended his career.
In his emotional document, the musician tells how the pressure after the success of his first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, caused “terrifying” panic attacks.
Lewis, who was diagnosed with Gilles de la Tourette after doctors noticed his uncontrollable shoulder twitches, also discussed being a hypochondriac.
Hypochondriasis causes patients to feel extreme anxiety about their health, including worrying that they are or may become seriously ill.
The Scottish singer said: ‘I’ve always been a hypochondriac. I’ve been obsessed, if there’s something wrong with me, I’m like, “F**k, I’m going to die.”

“I went to a therapist and she said, ‘Don’t you think that has something to do with the fact that your grandmother and your aunt both died when you were three and four, within a year.’
Lewis described how his anxiety manifested itself in a shrug that would become so severe while writing songs that he had to put his second album on hold.
After his Someone You Love was a huge hit, Lewis doubted himself if he could ever recreate the magic when he was writing in lockdown.
He says, ‘I’m not confident in my abilities as a songwriter and I think that will get worse the more successful I am.
“The twitching I have gets worse when I sit down to play the piano. Physically painful. And I get really short of breath and it’s like my back is killing me if I start doing it. That’s quite frightening.’

Lewis’s anxiety mounted and he started having terrible panic attacks as he struggled to deal with the magnitude of his success.
He says to the documentary makers: ‘I am completely detached from reality. I can’t breathe, I can’t feel the breath going in. I get dizzy, I feel like something is happening in my head and I sweat.
My whole body starts doing what my shoulder is doing and I start having convulsions. Either I feel like I’m stuck like this forever, or I’m going to die.
“It’s a very normal reaction to this for me. When you get into this situation, you get something like this, especially if you’re already an anxious person, which I think I was.
“I never had the pressure that caused me to explode completely, but we’re here now, so we just have to deal with it.”
