Jade Thirlwall and Lewis Capaldi join Black Live Matter protests over the killing of George Floyd

Jade Thirlwall and Lewis Capaldi were among the latest stars to join Black Lives Matter protests after the killing of George Floyd.

The Little Mix star, 27, took to the streets in London while Lewis, 23, joined protesters in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh on Sunday. 

Jade held a sign reading ‘Black Lives Matter’ while she sported a black crop top with matching trousers.

The Shout Out To My Ex star also wore a pair of black trainers and a face mask as she joined protesters in the capital. 

Meanwhile, Lewis put safety first amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as he sported a black face mask at the protest in Edinburgh. 

The hitmaker was dressed casually for the day, wearing a black hoodie with matching tracksuit bottoms.

The star appeared to show his support to others who took part in the demonstration as he gave a thumbs up.  

Lewis carried a water bottle with him as he walked across the park where other protesters could be seen gathered.

The Someone You Loved singer was also one of millions who joined the social media movement Black Out Tuesday in order to raise awareness for Black Lives Matter.  

It comes after other stars including John Boyega, Billie Piper and Liam Payne all turned out for a Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park on Wednesday.

The death of 46-year-old George Floyd in Minneapolis has sparked days of demonstrations across the world over police brutality against African-Americans.

On May 25, Floyd – an unarmed, African-American male – experienced a horrific death at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In the horrifying video footage of Floyd’s death, he is seen saying that he can not breathe as officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes.

The Minneapolis policeman accused of killing Floyd, Chauvin, was taken into custody Friday and charged with third-degree murder, which was later changed to second-degree murder.
