The moving message Lewis Capaldi sent fans before Glastonbury performance

Lewis Capaldi has been extremely open about his health battles over the last year. He opened up about his Tourette's syndrome diagnosis, partly because he didn't want people to think he was taking drugs, but also so his fans knew the reason why he was sometimes struggling while performing.

The 26-year-old let Netflix filmmakers follow his life for a short while to create an hour long documentary about his Tourette's diagnosis and how it has affected his life. The brutal honesty about how it affects his mental health is something fans rarely get to see from their favourite celebrity.

He shared that honest connection with his fans on Saturday night as he struggled to finish his Glastonbury set while losing his voice. Lewis has previously opened up about how singing and performing escalates his tics, caused by Tourette's, and sometimes makes it hard to perform.
