Lewis Capaldi signed the Chewbucca mask he wore at TRNSMT festival and it has sold for a staggering amount in an online auction. 

He arrived on stage ahead of his performance wearing the mask following an ongoing feud with Noel Gallagher.

Noel recently called Lewis "****ing Chewbacca" after addressing Capaldi's statement that "being slagged off by a man who is old enough to be my Da" was his "dreams coming true".

An employee of DF Concerts (who run TRNSMT) put the mask on eBay stating in the description “I work for DF concerts and events and donated my mask to Lewis Capaldi for his performance..." 

"He signed it as well shortly after coming off Stage. So I thought the best thing to do with it would be sell it on eBay with the profits going to the charity “Tiny Changes” which was set up in memory of Scott Hutchison (Frightened Rabbit.) Tiny Changes helps Raise awareness about children and young people’s mental health issues.”

The mask sold for £7,401 after over 70 bids being placed online.
