Lewis Capaldi says unfinished Glastonbury set in 2023 was ‘blessing in disguise'
Singer Lewis Capaldi has said being unable to finish his 2023 Glastonbury Festival set as he struggled to manage the symptoms of his Tourette syndrome was a 'blessing in disguise'. The 28-year-old said in an interview with YouTuber Theo Von that he promised himself the set would be 'the last time I'm going to play a gig for a long time' and that he would seek help afterwards. Advertisement The Scottish singer said: 'When I got off stage, everyone else around me was a bit like, 'Oh, this is the worst thing ever', and I had this weird sort of (like) a weight had been lifted, like, 'Oh, now this thing's happened and I have to get help'. 'I had been putting it off because, funnily enough, a few weeks prior to that show, last minute we were playing in Chicago, and I had a very similar episode (which) was probably even worse… I couldn't come back on stage and finish the song. 'I was, like, backstage, convulsing and having this crazy panic attack, mental episode, I was really, really bad, way worse than what happened to Glastonbury, because Glastonbury is such a big stage and a big moment.' Capaldi announced a break from touring shortly after the Glastonbury performance, but made a surprise return to the festival last month with a 35-minute set on the Pyramid Stage. Advertisement He continued: 'In a weird way, it's probably the best thing that happened to me at that moment at Glastonbury in 2023, because I wouldn't have stopped otherwise. 'I was really bad for not saying no to things, feeling like this is going to pass me by if I don't say yes to all this amazing stuff coming at me, and I have to catch it all and sort of get it all done. 'So I said yes to way too much, and I took way too much on, and everyone around me was asking me, 'Are you sure this is OK?'. I was like, 'Yeah, I'm fine', but yes, Glastonbury 2023 was maybe the most important day of my life, to be honest, because I wouldn't have stopped. Capaldi made a surprise return to Glastonbury this year (Yui Mok/PA) 'It's like someone upstairs was like, 'This has to happen now', otherwise, I don't want to think about where I would be now, if I hadn't, because we were meant to go to Australia and stuff like that, it could have been really horrible. Advertisement 'I dread to think what would've happened to me otherwise, so it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.' During last month's Glastonbury show, Capaldi performed his new track Survive, which has since gone to number one on the UK singles chart. He ended the performance with Someone You Loved, the track that Glastonbury crowds helped him to sing when he struggled in 2023. The singer has also announced a comeback UK and Ireland tour at venues including The O2 in London, Cardiff's Utilita Arena and Dublin's 3Arena, as well as in Glasgow and Aberdeen, in September. Advertisement Tourette syndrome causes sudden, repetitive sounds or movements, and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Capaldi has had six UK number one singles, including Before You Go, Pointless and Wish You The Best, and both of his studio albums have reached number one in the UK albums chart.

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

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.' Watch Capaldi on GMA below.
