Lewis Capaldi to take long break from touring

The Before You Go star added that canceling his tour is 'the most difficult realization' of his life: 'Playing these shows every night is all I’ve ever dreamed of so it’s been the most difficult realisation of my life that right now I have to pause for a moment.'

Struggle at Glastonbury and heartwarming crowd
During his performance at the Glastonbury Festival, Lewis Capaldi faced difficulties related to his Tourette's syndrome.
Capaldi began to experience Tourette syndrome symptoms at the start of his set and they intensified as his beloved hit Someone You Loved began to play. As fans sang along to support him, the Someone You Loved singer expressed gratitude for their solidarity and the outpouring of messages he received.
It is revealed that Capaldi first talked about his Tourette syndrome diagnosis in September during an Instagram live session. The singer said:
'I’ve always had it apparently. I do the shoulder twitch quite a lot and you see underneath every TikTok people are like, 'Why is he twitching?' Which is fine. Curiosity is fine. I get it.'
According to Mayo Clinic, Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that usually begins in childhood. It is marked by the presence of both motor tics (involuntary physical movements) and vocal tics (unwanted sounds or words). These tics can range from simple, brief movements or sounds to more complex actions or phrases.
For artists like Lewis Capaldi, Tourette syndrome can pose unique challenges in their professional careers. Performing on stage requires focus, precision, and control, which may be compromised by the presence of tics.
