India, Jan. 25 -- Two years after sharing the stage with Ed Sheeran in Mumbai, British singer-songwriter Calum Scott was back in India with a show on Friday. The Piano Man, Saket, came alive as he opened the India leg of his Avenoir tour to 200 excited fans. With hits like Roots, At Your Worst and God Knows, the performance hit all the right notes, eliciting the occasional tear from listeners. Ahead of the performance, the singer spoke to HT City about his music and his dream Indian collaboration. Scott said, "My objective with my music is to make people cry, and I have been told (singer) Shreya Ghoshal does exactly that, so we might make a dream team. But many tears would be shed!" Before heading to Mumbai for his January 25 appearance at Lollapalooza India 2026, Scott spent time exploring Delhi with his mother. Recounting their time in the city, he said, "Mum thinks India is fabulous! She's not a huge fan of the traffic here and she keeps looking out of the car window for fear that we may collide with a tuk-tuk, but other than that, she is embracing India. I visited the Lotus Temple and Akshardham with Mum, and we were blown away. It's so special to experience this with her," he said. Speaking about performing at Lollapalooza, Scott added, "It's my first time playing the Lollapalooza Festival so it being in India too makes it very special and unique for me." Once the tour wraps up, however, Scott is looking forward to returning home to his English bulldog, Elvis. "Elvis just turned one in December and is the most attentive, loving boy. I will say, there is nothing more humbling than coming home from weeks away, touring the world, singing to thousands of people. to pick up Elvis' poop. a real treat," he ended....
