Lewis Capaldi reveals he has Tourette syndrome, says it 'makes so much sense'

Lewis Capaldi shared Monday during an Instagram Live that he had been recently diagnosed with Tourette syndrome.

"I have Tourette's, I've always had that part of me," said the "Someone You Loved" singer, 25. "I do that shoulder twitch a lot and... underneath every TikTok and stuff people are like, 'Why is he twitching?,' which is fine. Curiosity is fine, I get it, you're like 'What is that?'"

The Mayo Clinic defines Tourette syndrome as a disorder that "involves repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics) that can't be easily controlled." These tics usually manifest by age 15. Males are three to fours times more likely to develop Tourette syndrome.
