Lewis Capaldi Performs ‘Survive,' Talks Stage Return and Upcoming EP on ‘Good Morning America'

Yahoo08-07-2025
Lewis Capaldi dropped in to Good Morning America on Monday morning (July 7) for his first TV performance in more than two years as part of the show's Summer Concert Series. In addition to performing a pair of songs with a full band during the visit — including an emotional run through his new single, 'Survive,' as well as his breakthrough 2019 smash 'Someone You Loved,' the most-streamed song of all time in the U.K. — Capaldi broke some news during the chat.
'I don't know about an album, but hopefully it will be… I'm doing an EP at some point this year,' he said, joking that he wasn't sure if he was allowed to share the news, but was going to do it anyway. 'And then an album will follow maybe next year.' Capaldi did not provide the name of the EP or a targeted release date, but he also teased that there will be a another new song later this summer and then, 'another song after that and another song after that until the day I die.'

Capaldi gingerly stepped back into the spotlight at the Glastonbury Festival on June 27 with a brief set two years after the 28-year-old's last full show, which was also at the famed festival in 2023. During the previous gig, he'd struggled with a strained vocal cord and his Tourette's syndrome diagnosis, which manifested in a series of tics during his performance. That same day Capaldi announced that he was taking a break from touring to focus on his health.
'The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future,' he wrote to fans in June 2023. 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out. But the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order so that I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.' Prior to his 2023 Glastonbury set, Capaldi had canceled a series of planned, sold out shows in Glasgow, Dublin, Norway and London.
The singer discussed the intensive therapy he's been undergoing over the past two years on GMA, saying that his time out of the spotlight has involved, 'lots and lots of therapy. It's been nice, talking a lot about myself. Crying quite a lot over the last two years… I've just been locking in and putting it all together and here we are.'

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Hid a Heartfelt Tribute to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby You Probably Missed — GeekTyrant

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is packed with all the superhero spectacle and cosmic chaos fans could hope for, but nestled within all the intergalactic drama and action is a touching tribute to the two legends who started it all: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The film takes place in Earth 828, a stylish, retro-futuristic world modeled after the swinging 1960s and it's inspired by Kirby's birthday, August 28. In this alternate reality, The Fantastic Four are cultural icons. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are plastered on everything from cereal boxes to a Saturday morning cartoon and even star in their own officially sanctioned comic book, courtesy of the Future Foundation. The tribute hits front and center during the film's Silver Surfer moment. As Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) descends in a blaze of cosmic glory to warn of Galactus (Ralph Ineson), she arrives outside the fictional Timely Comics building in Times Square. Watching in awe are two Timely employees, played by Martin Dickinson and Greg Haiste, who bear a striking resemblance to a young Kirby and a pre-mustache Lee, which is a fun nod to their early Marvel days. Timely Comics was the precursor to Marvel, and it's where Lee and Kirby first teamed up to unleash The Fantastic Four onto the world in 1961. That debut issue pitted the team against the monstrous Mole Man and his pet kaiju, Giganto, who even gets a show-stopping moment in First Steps during a montage that recreates the iconic comic cover. Inside the Timely office, eagle-eyed fans will spot a treasure chest of Easter eggs. Kirby's drawing board features artwork echoing Strange Tales #79, a 1960 monster comic co-written by Lee, penciled by Don Heck, and graced with a cover by Kirby featuring a creature called 'The Thing.' There's also an uncolored panel from Tales of Suspense #27, titled 'Oog Lives Again!' and a finished page from Fantastic Four #13 showing the first appearance of Uatu the Watcher, from a segment titled 'The Watcher Appears.' Kirby and Lee have had some comic cameos, whether it was Doctor Doom visiting the Marvel Bullpen in Fantastic Four #10 or the duo being hilariously denied entry to Reed and Sue's wedding in Fantastic Four Annual #3, their self-aware sense of fun lives on in this film. 'He's a visionary,' director Matt Shakman told 'We would have no Marvel Studios today without Jack Kirby. He created so many of these amazing characters, and he built this world along with Stan Lee. So many of our heroes launched from his mind and his pen, and we wanted to honor that. We wanted to honor his distinctive style.' The creative team described their visual inspiration as 'When Kirby Meets Kubrick,' referencing the sci-fi visionary Stanley Kubrick. Kirby famously adapted 2001: A Space Odyssey into a Marvel Treasury Special in 1976, blending cosmic art with bold storytelling. Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president and producer, explained the significance further: 'We wanted it to be more than just a passing tip of the hat. There are direct lines from his pencil that he drew with at his drawing board by himself, pouring his universe-spanning imagination on to the page. 'There are direct lines from there into this film.' He continued, '[We wanted] this movie to be an unabashed celebration of Mr. Kirby, who I think should be spoken in the same breath as Stan Lee at every moment. 'He was never as vocal or as at the forefront as Stan was. He also passed away long ago, and he didn't get to see any of what his work would inspire.' The film ends on a powerful note, not with a post-credit tease, but with a quote from Kirby himself: 'If you look at my characters, you will find me. No matter what kind of character you create or assume, a little of yourself must remain there.'
