Fans and famous faces throw support behind Lewis Capaldi after he announces break from touring due to health issues

Lewis Capaldi has taken a break from live performances for the foreseeable future to continue adjusting to life with Tourette's - a condition he was diagnosed with in late 2022 and which he's spoken about extensively. This has meant cancelling shows around the world, but, instead of worrying about refunds and complaining about the scrapped shows, fans of Lewis have shown their calibre by the outpouring of love and concern for the singer and praising his decision to get himself well.

On Tuesday, June 27, Lewis shared a statement on Instagram saying he was 'incredibly sorry' but that it was 'obvious' that he needs to work on his health and a three-week break at the start of June was not enough.

In his statement thanking fans for the amazing messages of support, he said: "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."
