‘What the hell was that?’: Lewis Capaldi stops Amsterdam concert after hearing strange goat noises
Lewis Capaldi stopped his concert in Amsterdam on Saturday after hearing strange goat noises in his crowd.
The Scottish musician, 26, was filmed calling out to a fan who was making the unusual noise in the front row.
In the hilarious TikTok clip, Veerle Naber tried to get Lewis’s attention at the concert at Ziggo Dome.
The 15-year-old student from Avenhorn, the Netherlands, met Kaylee van den Berg, 23, who encouraged her to try an unorthodox method to get the singer’s attention.
That’s when Veerle made a strange bleat that quickly caught the attention of Lewis, who pointed at Veerle after being hilariously taken aback by the young man’s sound effect.

Hilarious: The Scottish musician, 26, was filmed calling out to a fan who was making the unusual sound in the front row.
Hilarious footage taken by tour guide Kaylee shows Capaldi silencing the crowd as she paused her song with her acoustic guitar strapped to her torso.
Lewis addressed the crowd before a loud goat bleat echoed through the arena. So he he turns to the camera with a look of pure confusion and says, ‘What the hell was that noise?’
Meanwhile, Kaylee can be heard laughing in the background and telling Veerle to do it again.
Another bleat is heard and Capaldi comically asks, ‘What? Repeat it.’
He did it a third time, causing Capaldi to be speechless for a moment before saying, ‘That’s weird. That is…’
The camera pans over to Veerle, who smiles innocently as he holds up a banner to Lewis, asking him to take his BeReal.
Surprised by the strangeness of the events, Lewis asked, ‘What’s your name?’ before saying: “Very good, Veerle”,
He then asked a staff member, ‘Rory, hold this microphone up to his face and we’ll make that noise again.’
Capaldi then says, ‘Everyone, this is Veerle, right? Is it going to be a creaky, creaky job?
Veerle turns red with embarrassment as he blows the goat into the microphone and then raises his banner again as he calls out Lewis’s name.
Lewis laughed and said: ‘Veerle, you’re a weird person, I have to admit. You’re one weird son of a bitch. Yes, I’ll take your BeReal. Give me your phone number.’
He then jokes to the crowd, “That just goes to show that if you want to get noticed at a concert, make sure you learn animal noises.”

It comes after Lewis spoke candidly about his Tourette on stage in Belfast after experiencing symptoms in the middle of the show.
The Someone You Loved hitmaker revealed he had the neurological condition, which is characterized by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, last year.
In the now-viral clip, Lewis stopped his set to reassure the audience that he’s okay and they could watch him ‘twitch’.
He told the crowd, “You might see me shaking a little here, but nothing to worry about, I’ve got Tourette’s,” as the crowd cheered.
‘Thank you for encouraging my disability, so I have tourette, everything is fine, everything is fine. I just shudder a bit, it looks like I’m dancing, but believe me, my dance is much more sexual.
Joking in typical Capaldi fashion, he said: “Just to reassure everyone I’m fine baby I’m up here I’m fine and it’s not all bad I have a parking pass too.”
It comes after fans helped the star by singing his hit Someone You Loved for him in Frankfurt this week when he experienced Tourette’s symptoms mid-show.
In the now-viral clip, Lewis can be seen walking away from the microphone as he struggled with his head and shoulder shaking uncontrollably.
However, the audience quickly showed their support for the star and continued to sing the song en masse.
Lewis then appeared to regain his composure as he continued with the performance.
Sharing the clip on TikTok, one fan wrote: “We root for you!” and captioned the video: “Fans finishing song for Lewis as he wrestles with his Tourette.”

Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a combination of noises and involuntary movements called tics.
The disorder usually begins during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be verbal, such as swearing, or physical, such as head shaking.
The cause of Tourette syndrome is unknown. However, it is believed to be related to problems with a part of the brain known as the basal ganglia, which help regulate body movements.
This disorder affects approximately 78 million people worldwide and there is currently no cure, only treatments that control the symptoms.
The Brit award winner recently tested a new watch-like device to relieve tics and found that the device suppressed head and shoulder movements.
The Neupulse device, developed at the University of Nottingham, delivers mild electrical stimulation currents to nerves in the wrist, influencing brain networks involved in generating tics.
The device appears to be a game changer for the musician – he instantly felt at ease once the device was activated.
It comes after the Hold Me While You Wait hitmaker said learning he had Tourette’s was “a huge relief”, and he is now embracing his new role as “poster boy” for the condition.
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show last year, he said: ‘I have Tourette’s. I didn’t mean it to be a big thing. I shudder a lot.
‘My left shoulder comes up and I do this with my head. Now I’m the poster boy for Tourette. I’ll take it, I’ll gladly accept it.
‘It was seven or eight months ago [that I was diagnosed]. I thought she had a degenerative disease. So to be told that I did indeed have Tourette’s, as you can imagine, was a huge relief. Alright. Everything works.’

‘I thought I was pretty alone in being nervous. It has been a relief and, if anything, nice to know that I have a community. I’m quite an anxious person, I really start to overthink things if something is wrong, this was a weight off my mind.
Capaldi admitted that his condition can “really affect my performance,” but his tics come in “ebbs and flows,” and he tends to notice less of the effects of Tourette’s if he takes care of himself with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
He told presenter Jonathan Ross, 62, on the ITV chat show: “It definitely gets worse on stage sometimes.” Sometimes it can really affect my performance.
It has ebbs and flows. If I take care of myself, I exercise, I go to the gym -which by the way is the same thing- if I don’t drink too much or take a walk in the park and breathe a nice summer air. I hate commitment. I’m a loose guy.
