But he is now making tentative steps back into the industry, and has met execs at Netflix to discuss options for a new project.

'But he really wants his fans to be able to understand what he has been going through and where he has been for the last two years. 'That's why another special makes sense. 'There are discussions about what form it could take, but there will naturally be a lot of honest and vulnerable moments. It's not been an easy time. 'His last documentary with Netflix, How I'm Feeling Now, was really intimate and personal and became a massive success. 'Naturally, they are interested in working with him again and they've been having talks about doing just that.'

Embarrassed people turning to unreliable sources for financial help
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info People are turning to AI for financial advice as new data reveals one in five 18-24 year olds have used artificial intelligence tools for help with money. The Money Talks report from MoneySuperMarket and suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) shows younger people are also being influenced by financial content on social media. The report also found that young people are feeling pressured by social media to make more money, with a third saying the content they viewed made them feel they have to be financially successful. And one in 10 said that after going online they felt influenced to invest in riskier products such as NFTs or cryptocurrency. Four out of 10 young people said they did not feel confident when it comes to money, but over half said embarrassment would stop them from asking friends, family or other adults in their lives for help with managing money. Instead, they are using AI tools and social media to fill in the gaps in their financial knowledge - leaving them vulnerable if they do not check if that information is accurate and credible. MoneySuperMarket's personal finance expert Kara Gammell said: 'This research underscores the financial and mental health challenges facing younger people. The taboo that stops people talking about money and money worries is not only impacting people's finances, it's harming their well-being too.

Lewis Capaldi wows fans as he makes a surprise appearance on stage two years after announcing music hiatus
Lewis Capaldi wowed fans after making a very unexpected guest appearance at Tom Wal ker's show in Edinburgh - two years after announcing a music hiatus. The Scottish singer, 28, announced he would be taking a break from the spotlight for his mental health and to 'adjust to the impact' of his Tourette's diagnosis after performing at Glastonbury in June 2023. But on Friday night, Lewis returned to the stage as he surprised the intimate crowd towards the end of the gig, which had a strict no-phone policy. Fellow Scottish songwriter Tom, 33, performed at the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) gig at Assembly Halls. The I Will Leave A Light On hitmaker advised fans not to rush on their way out - but rather to wait for an upcoming surprise. Shortly after, Lewis sent guests into overdrive as he appeared on stage and began performing some of his most iconic tracks, including the famous ballad Someone You Loved. Although the charity event applied a phone ban, some fans shared on X it was 'the best thing ever', while another said they were 'close to tears'. Speaking to the BBC after the gig, Tom said: 'We've bumped into each other a few times over the years backstage at [festivals] and events, and he's a total legend. 'I know how much pressure this industry can put on artists at times, especially after a bit of a break. 'So, for him to be able to play a little secret gig in a safe space without all the phones, the noise and the expectations was perfect. I'm buzzing to have been a part of it.' It was recently reported that Lewis could be set to make a comeback in 2025 after allegedly discussing his next album with friends, though nothing was definitely confirmed. In an interview, Lewis's friend Yungblud, 27, has told how the singer is sounding great', before confirming that he is working on 'new music'. Yungblud, who's been firm friends with the hitmaker prior to them both finding fame, also told how Lewis is getting his mental health back on track after he previously told how his break was to get his 'mental and physical health in order'. He told The Sun: 'I have heard his new music and it sounds great. He is getting his mental health right.' Y ungBlud, who real name Dominic Harrison, continued: 'I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together. 'We experienced it at the same time and he is perhaps the only friend who knows what I am going through, in the same way I know what he's going through.' The singer, who recently released new single Hello Heaven, Hello, added that he's 'really close' with Lewis and his pal gave him advice about performing a ballad on his new album. During his performance at Glastonbury in 2023, Lewis was coming out of a three-week mental health hiatus he had taken to 'rest and recover'. Returning to the stage, the singer admitted he had been 's**t scared' to perform as he opened up about his mental health struggles. The singer confirmed he would be taking another break away from the spotlight after the show. In the middle of his set, Lewis confessed that he was struggling with his Tourette's as he said his voice had 'packed it in', after he had been coughing throughout the show. Tourette's is a neurological condition characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, and can cause speech and voice abnormalities. Lewis took to social media after Glastonbury to announce his hiatus as he said he was taking a break form touring for the foreseeable future Despite his struggles, Lewis insisted on continuing with his set and his supportive fans rallied around him, with the show coming to an emotional close as the crowds sang Someone You Love for him. The heartwarming moment saw Lewis walk across the Pyramid Stage and sing short bursts of the track, while the kind crowds sang at the top of their voices to support the star. After his performance, Lewis took to his social media to say: 'The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write. 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out.' He continued: '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 I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come. 'I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve. 'Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of, so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can.' Six months later on New Year's Eve, Lewis updated fans, sharing: 'I'm really happy to say I've noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June.' 'For now I'm going to continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself, maybe writing some music and taking a moment to reflect on some of the most incredible years of my life. 'I want to make absolutely sure I'm 100% before getting back out there again properly for more shows and doing what I love more than anything! 'These songs mean the world to me and I'd be gutted if I'd not been able to share them. Hope this tides you all over until we can get in a room and sing them together some day very soon!' Lewis also thanked fans for their support, saying their reaction has been 'nothing I've ever experienced and has made me more excited than ever to return to doing what I love at some point in the not too distant future'.
