Singer-songwriter — and proud LEGO enthusiast — Lewis Capaldi has teamed up with the LEGO Group to celebrate the joy, nostalgia and creativity of the festive season. The star visited the LEGO Chalet of Play in London’s iconic Covent Garden, taking fans on a heart-warming trip through his childhood memories and his love for building.
The visit is part of a brand-new video series shot exclusively at the Chalet of Play, where Lewis reflects on building LEGO sets with his brother, how constructing bricks helps calm his mind while on tour, and even reveals a custom brick-built version of his latest album artwork, Survive.
“Having LEGO around helps take my mind off stuff,” Lewis explains. “I’m so focused on putting it all together that I’m able to put other things to the back of my mind. There’s a nice nostalgia tied into it — it’s a lovely feeling.”
A Show-Stopping LEGO Surprise
In the ultimate festive reveal, LEGO surprised Lewis with a life-sized sculpture of himself, made from over 41,000 bricks and requiring 207 hours to build. The jaw-dropping work of art left Lewis stunned — and instantly became the centrepiece of the Chalet.
Kuran Sharma, Head of Marketing at the LEGO Group, added:
“We loved hearing Lewis’ cherished LEGO memories. The holiday season is the perfect time to rediscover the joy of play, which is exactly what the LEGO Chalet of Play is all about.”
