As the gates to Worthy Farm opened to let the first of this year's revellers through yesterday, a source said: 'Lewis took a decent chunk of time away and now he's ready for his fans to hear what he has been working on.
'Tomorrow is a huge day for him. He will be releasing a brand new single and it is his Pyramid Stage performance. He is in a great place and feels ready to come back into the spotlight.'
Lewis' last performance at Glastonbury on that very stage in 2023 ended in tears, with the Someone You Loved
I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fans who, like me, were in tears at watching Lew struggling.

Afterwards, Lewis told us the performance made him realise he needed to 'spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'.
He retreated from the spotlight but last year started working on new tunes, going into the studio with British singer-songwriter Dan D'Lion, where he was snapped strumming on an acoustic guitar.
Then one of my pals overheard him in Gerry's bar in London last October excitedly talking about new music coming this year.
Insiders said the new record came together quickly.
It will follow his two No1 albums, 2019's debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, and Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which came out in 2023.

And it's not just the music which is on point, as Lewis returned to the stage for a secret show at Tom Walker's Calm charity gig in Edinburgh last month.

Lewis came on stage after Tom had finished performing and played a six-song set in the Assembly Halls.
The show went down a treat and Lew absolutely nailed his six-song setlist.
Those close to Lewis' told me he is more than ready to return to the spotlight.
'Lewis is raring to go,' my insider added. 'Naturally there will always be nerves but he feels confident and assured.
'He is firing on all cylinders and there's no doubt this single will go straight to No1, which will give Lewis a massive boost.'
We're rooting for you Lewis, and we can't wait to see you back down in Somerset.
Gene and Lennon's family ties
YOU won't need three guesses to work out who these two suit-wearing nepo babies are the sons of.

There's eight days to go until Liam and their uncle Noel reunite in Cardiff for Oasis' reunion tour, and I've no doubt they will be in the crowd cheering them on.
And I won't be surprised if Gene and Lennon hotfoot it from the French capital to Glastonbury, as I've seen them letting loose at the festival before.
If their resemblance to Liam extends to his behaviour, I'm sure they will be getting up to plenty of antics on Worthy Farm.
Libertine's in album push
THE LIBERTINES are pushing ahead with their next album following the success of All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, which went straight to No1 last year.
The band, Pete Doherty, Carl Barat, John Hassall and Gary Powell, left a gap of ten years between their third and fourth.

And in an exclusive chat ahead of their performance on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon, drummer Gary promised they won't be leaving it as long before bringing out a fifth album.
'There's always plans, it's whether we get to it,' Gary said.'We were on a two-record deal.
'So there was supposed to be at least another record not long after the release of the one in 2015.
'Nearly ten years later, we finally got to it. We're in the midst of touring at the moment, we're still finishing off the touring cycle of this last album.'
Gary also dismissed suggestions The Libertines are still 'ramshackle' on stage.
He said with a laugh: 'It takes a lot of work to be as ramshackle as we are. Most bands will try and be ramshackle, whilst being extremely ramshackle. We actually work really hard at being ramshackle.
'I wouldn't be in anything other than a well-rehearsed band.'

Jay has been on the road with Bey for months now and proved he is her No1 fan earlier in the day, when he was seen wearing a T-shirt with her picture on it.
I doubt my fella would be so pleased if I came home in a top featuring his mug.

She said on Davina McCall's Begin Again podcast: 'I just did the whole thing. We were in a hotel room in Palm Springs, like a really nice, fancy one filled up with balloons and cake, which is my favourite thing in the world.

'I got the bands made, I didn't want anything too flashy. He's like, 'What the hell is it? Valentine's Day?' I was like, 'Oh no, if you're gonna say no, I'm gonna have to take my clothes off'.
'Anyway, I got down on one knee, and Taika absolutely loved it.'
Rita also talked about her friendship with Beyonce and said: 'Being signed to Jay Z, she is my biggest inspiration. She took it upon herself to really look after me, and I still see her.
'She's always been so, so nice and proud, and checking in on my family and friends I've had since childhood, remembering their names. I mean, it's crazy.'

MAROON 5 have announced their eighth album, Love Is Like. It will be out on August 15 and features All Night, as well as recent track Priceless.
Frontman Adam Levine said: 'I feel like we've gone back to what we used to do, which is to not pay attention to where we fit, and producing the music organically.'

On Instagram, he wrote: 'It felt about time to jump on a plane and start writing again!
'I have been looking forward to this moment for years. Being with the boys feels like home. Bring on the next album.'
West End Hercules is strong on laughs and classic tunes
THE 1997 animated movie is one of Disney's best, so the stakes were high.
But I'm pleased to report this West End adaption of Hercules, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, does the film justice . . . and then some.

From start to finish, the show is surprisingly funny, with jokes landing perfectly from Mount Olympus all the way back down to Earth.
The all-female gospel singing muses steal the show with their vocals and camp sass.
Hades and Meg are also perfectly cast. Along with Phil, they are given a more adult costume, bringing them further into real life.
My only gripe is that in doing so, some of the classic Disney magic is lost.
Hades' famous flame hair has been replaced with silver locks, while half-goat, half-man Phil is now all man.
But the cast make the characters their own and crowd pleasers come from the original film's score.
While the new songs may not be instant classics, I'm pretty sure this show will Go The Distance.
