He teamed the grey shirt with dark trousers and classic brown cowboy boots to work his best angles for the snaps. 

It comes after earlier this week Lewis teased his new single at 35,000ft on Tuesday as he surprised customers on a British Airways flight.

Following take-off, the Scottish star hilariously made his way through the aircraft with a drinks trolley and handed out refreshments.

Those on board the flight from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, including four superfans who had been personally invited onto the flight, were shocked when Lewis arrived with his guitar.    

The hitmaker then serenaded customers with a chorus and verse of his unreleased track Wish You The Best, which is from his upcoming new album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent.

The lyrics declared ‘it seems like Glasgow gets further from LA’, as the flight travelled across the Atlantic. 

Sharing a clip of the special moment to Instagram, Lewis could be heard saying: ‘I’m on a flight from London Heathrow to LAX and I’m going to sing some songs for the passengers’

He then handed a beer to one of his fans while saying: ‘I feel like I’m not doing anything, I’m just standing here and looking pretty.’ 

Here we go! He penned: ‘This wagonmaster sure is happy to be back in Nashville kicking off his sold out North American & Canada tour! Yeehaw motherf**kers x’

He added: ‘I’m going to sing a song now, I apologise because someone is sleeping’

After singing his tune, he jokingly told the passengers: ‘Sorry for disturbing your flight, if you don’t know my name is Ed Sheeran’ 

Lewis is currently embarking on his biggest ever sold-out headline tour of North America.

Having recently sold out his 2023 UK arena tour in a matter of seconds, he will headline Reading & Leeds Festival in August, perform at Glastonbury Festival as well as play his biggest headline summer shows to date to over 30,000 fans a night in Manchester, Edinburgh & Belfast.

Lewis is set to release a raw and honest feature length music documentary,How I’m Feeling Now, on Netflix on April 5.

It sees him candidly discuss his mental health struggles, diagnosis with Tourette’s and life in the spotlight.

In the trailer, the singer squirmed as his mother recalled having to pick him up from a one night stand after he suffered a panic attack.

‘That’s not a story that needs to be told’ he said as his mother laughing and told the camera about the awkward incident.

She said: ‘Having to be picked up by you’re mother from your one night stand because you are having a panic attack’.

Only for Lewis reply sarcastically: ‘So glad you brought that up’.

Directed by BAFTA winner Joe Pearlman the all-access documentary follows Lewis Capaldi at a pivotal moment in his career after achieving global success with his debut album.

And the trailer shows him struggling with the pressures of his fame as the world waits for new music.

It will also delve into his Tourette’s after the mega star bravely revealed his diagnosis to the world last year.

Discussing the film on Instagram he wrote: ‘The film is called ‘How I’m Feeling Now’ and it’s named after a song I wrote, which will be released at midnight on the 17th of March’.

‘It’s the last song I wrote for my upcoming album and is a tune that’s all about something I’ve never really written about in my music before which is my mental health’.

It comes after Lewis revealed that he is battling Vertigo and admitted that he thought he was dying ‘for a couple of days’ while suffering the disconcerting symptom.

Lewis revealed his latest health struggle while at Glasgow ‘s Everyman Cinema on Thursday, as part of a special screening for his upcoming Netflix documentary .

Speaking to fans, he said: ‘I’m alive and living. I’ve not been very well. I’ve got vertigo. So I’m spinning but I’m smiling. I’m not dying so it’s good. I did think I was for a couple of days but luckily I’m here.’

Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself. It’s the sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning.

Speaking to Alison and Dermot, he sang: ‘I’ve got Vertigo right now, so I’m a bit – spinning around get out of my way.

He explained: ‘I don’t usually have it – it’s because I had Bronchitis. I’m just telling you my ailments now.

‘I have Vertigo and we are on the other end of it now and I’m expecting diarrhea in the next couple of weeks. I don’t usually have it, but I just feel a bit dizzy sometimes.’

Back in September, Lewis revealed that he has Tourette’s syndrome and explained that he wanted to go public as he ‘didn’t want people to think he was taking cocaine.’

The singer said the diagnosis was recent and explained that he is learning new methods to deal with it ‘all the time’.

Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics.

The Hold Me While You Wait hitmaker revealed he is being treated with Botox injections to freeze his muscles to try to control the tics.

Discussing the diagnosis, Lewis said it filled him with relief, saying: ‘I’m a hypochondriac so I immediately think death, its more than worry I have an all-consuming sense of doom.

‘So when I got the Tourette’s diagnosis, I was like thank God for that, at least it’s not life threatening and everything’s good to go.
