Pop star Lewis Capaldi is raising awareness about his own struggle with Tourette’s syndrome amid an emotional announcement to fans cancelling all touring commitments.
Lewis says he is making this decision for the ‘foreseeable future’ to get his ‘mental and physical health in order’. The Scot performed at Glastonbury at the weekend and was hailed "brave" for battling through with voice issues and tics, as he was supported by the crowds.
In an Instagram message, the 26-year-old wrote: "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 I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.
