LEGO superfan Lewis Capaldi has received an early Christmas present - a giant LEGO depiction of himself.

The pop superstar visited the LEGO Chalet of Play in London’s Covent Garden, and in addition to getting stuck into some brick-based play, he unveiled the statue and a brick-built model of his latest album artwork, Survive.

Lewis commented, “Having LEGO around helps take my mind off stuff, I'm so focused on putting it all together that I’m able to put other stuff that’s going on to the back of my mind. There’s also a nice nostalgia tied into it, it’s a lovely feeling.”

The LEGO Capaldi is crafted from over 41,000 LEGO bricks and taking 207 hours to complete. The jaw-dropping sculpture, a perfect blend of art and play, left Lewis grinning from ear to ear.

Kuran Sharma, Head of Marketing at the LEGO Group commented: “We loved taking Lewis on a trip down memory lane through LEGO sets and hearing about his cherished memories of the LEGO brand. ”
