Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi announced on Tuesday that he is taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future in order to adjust to the impact of Tourette syndrome. Capaldi’s decision comes after his recent performance at the Glastonbury Festival, where he struggled with his voice and relied on the crowd to carry him through his songs. Despite the challenges, Capaldi expressed gratitude to the festival and his fans for their support.
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary sounds and movements, known as tics. Capaldi disclosed his diagnosis last September. Following his performance at Glastonbury, the 26-year-old singer made the difficult decision to cancel his upcoming tour, which included performances in Zurich, Australia, South Korea, Iceland, and culminated in the United Arab Emirates.
In his statement, Capaldi acknowledged that he is still learning to cope with the impact of his Tourette’s and recognized the need to prioritize his mental and physical health. He expressed a desire to continue pursuing his passion in the long term. Capaldi’s journey with Tourette’s is documented in a Netflix documentary titled “How I’m Feeling Now,” which reflects his fear and anxiety during the pandemic as he returned home to Scotland and attempted to write new music.
Overall, Capaldi’s decision to prioritize his health and well-being is a testament to his resilience and commitment to his craft. He remains optimistic about the future and continues to inspire others with his talent and authenticity.
