The latest response from the Bathgate singer was to walk out for his TRNSMT set wearing a Chewbacca mask – and dedicating Oasis hit “Don’t Look Back In Anger” to Noel, who he referred to as “dad”.
Before taking to the stage, Lewis said: “I’d love to just… me and him get in there. He doesn’t like co-rights so probably wouldn’t, but he can write it and I’ll sing it and I’m sure it would be a lovely one.
“I love him to bits. He’s just bamming it up isn’t he? He loves a bam up, Noel.
