Lewis Capaldi was 'living a life he couldn't afford' before comeback

Lewis Capaldi has said before his comeback that he was 'living a lifestyle he couldn't afford'. The singer triumphantly returned to the stage in June, performing a surprise set on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage two years after being unable to finish on the same stage. He has since released a new single and announced a tour, including four dates in Scotland in September. During an interview on Heart Breakfast, the 28-year-old said he was 'never intending' to end his 734-day career break before joking that he was living a lifestyle he 'couldn't afford'. 'I didn't know if I would come back to begin with', he said on Friday. 'But a year in, I realised that I'm living a lifestyle that I can't afford. 'But I got the itch, and I started writing again, and I feel good. 'When that sort of started creeping up on my mind, I then had the idea that it would be amazing to come back at Glastonbury. But when I came off stage at the first Glastonbury, no, I didn't have any inkling that I would come back. 'But when it came down to discussing coming back and the best way to do that, it was definitely like 'this will be incredible.' The Bathgate-born singer has since become the latest ambassador for a global footwear brand, teamed up with BetterHelp to give away 734,000 free hours of therapy, and announced a UK tour, which sold out in minutes. It's a far sight away from his comeback performance, before which he didn't want his parents or managers 'anywhere near' his dressing room. 'No, do you know what it's funny, I actually wanted no one', he added. 'Even the band my mum and dad. 'I'd say even band managers and all that, they were backstage in a different area. But for the dressing room and stuff, I didn't want them anywhere near us. Not because they're going to put bad juju on me, it was more that I can really feel people's nervous energy. 'It was terrifying, but I knew I was going to be able to do it.'
