One year after his retirement - Lewis Capaldi visits Glastonbury Festival

Shortly after his performance at the Glastonbury-Festival in June 2023, Lewis Capaldi (27) announced that due to mental health issues, he would be taking a longer break. On the stage of the famous festival, the singer suffered a Tourette's attack and was unable to finish the concert. Now Capaldi is back on Worthy Farm - but only as a visitor.

"He looked so happy"

According to the British newspaper "The Sun", Capaldi was seen on the festival grounds together with friendly stars such as Oasis singer Noel Gallagher (57) and model Cara Delevingne (31).

A year after his headliner performance and the subsequent announcement of his break, Capaldi seems to be doing better. "Lewis looked so happy," quotes the "Sun" an onlooker. "He said how happy he was to be here and to see a few of the acts over the weekend. Considering how hard his last visit to Worthy Farm was, it's nice to see him again."

When the singer battled a Tourette's attack on stage last year and could no longer perform, the crowd helped him finish his song "Hold Me While You Wait". Capaldi thanked them afterwards: "I want to thank you all for coming. I was scared, but you helped me feel really good. I owe you all a big thank you."

On June 27, Capaldi finally announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from touring. He wrote at the time: "I will return as soon as possible." However, a return to the stage has not yet been announced by the singer. In January 2024, he released a new single called "Strangers".

One year after his controversial exit due to a Tourette's attack at Glastonbury, Capaldi expressed his joy to be back at the festival, now as a visitor. The Sun reported that he was spotted enjoying the festivities with familiar faces like Noel Gallagher and Cara Delevingne.

During his performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2023, Lewis Capaldi faced a challenging moment when he suffered a Tourette's attack on stage, leading him to take a time out. However, the supportive crowd rallied behind him, and he was able to complete his hit song "Hold Me While You Wait" with their encouragement.

Following his triumphant return to Worthy Farm, Capaldi announced a break from touring in June 2024, citing mental health reasons. He promised his fans that he would return as soon as possible, but as of now, no specific return date has been set.

Despite his break from touring, Capaldi remained active in the music scene, releasing a new single titled "Strangers" in January 2024. His performance at Glastonbury that year paved the way for his return to the spotlight and assured fans that he was still very much a part of the music world.
