Lewis Capaldi struggled to finish his Glastonbury set on Saturday but the crowd stepped in and sung his song for him.
The Scottish singer has been open about his mental health struggles since his Tourette's diagnosis, and cancelled some shows in the lead up to his Glastonbury performance to rest. However Lewis admitted he may need to take a longer break following his appearance at the festival.
He said: "We’re gonna play two more songs if that’s okay, even if I can’t sing properly," he told the crowd earlier today. "I’m really sorry before I go any further. You’ve all come out and I’m really apologising. My voice is packing in."

At the end of his set, he said:" Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself. I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us."
Lewis only sang a few words of his Someone You Love song and stayed on stage as the crowd sang back at him. As he walked off stage at the end of his set he said: "I genuinely dreamt of doing this. If I never get to do it again, this has been enough."

Lewis is set to perform at Chepstow next week, and while no announcement has been made yet, it is possible the show there won't be going ahead. You can find out more about what is Tourette's, what causes it and what the symptoms are here.
Earlier in his set he joked with fans as the Red Arrows flew over. The 26-year-old admitted he was nervous upon beginning his set as fans began a encouraging chant of "Oh, Lewis Capaldi" to the tune of The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' to boost the musician. On finishing his song Forever, the popstar paused to welcome the audience - and comment on the jets, which a tweet from the Glastonbury Live account confirmed were the Red Arrows.
"By the way, did anyone f****** see the jets flying over?" Capaldi asked the crowd. "Is that normal, does that happen a lot? No? Alright. So they just thought 'you know what that Lewis Capaldi set needs? Send in the f******Red Arrows."
The Scottish singer also joked that he knew he was not supposed to swear on stage, but said "if you don’t want swears, you don’t invite captain cool over here" while pointing to himself. "This is a lot of people, it’s a lot of people. This is genuinely quite a surreal thing," he added as he looked out on the ocean of fans.
Making his diagnosis public last year, Lewis explained how he wanted to tell his fans about his condition as he doesn't want people thinking he is "taking cocaine or something", as he opened up discovering he has the condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics.
Lewis explained in September how he was relieved to find out he had the condition because he originally feared he might be suffering a degenerative disease, and said he can see signs he had Tourettes when looking back at old interviews.
The Hold Me While You Wait singer is being treated with Botox injections to freeze muscles to try to control the tics characteristic of Tourette’s, and reassures fans his shoulder twitches are " not as bad as it looks".
