Lewis Capaldi makes heartbreaking announcement after struggling to finish his Glastonbury performance | The Sun
LEWIS Capaldi fought back tears as he admitted he may not return to the stage this year.
The singer was forced to cut his Glastonbury set short by six minutes as he battled with his voice.
He bravely performed on the Pyramid Stage last night after taking a month off to recover from mental health challenges.
Lewis was helped by adoring fans who sang his songs back to him as he struggled with his Tourette's.
The 26-year-old cancelled all work commitments this month as he geared up for Glastonbury, having struggled mentally and physically.
Lewis said: “I recently took three weeks off just because I have been non-stop since the start of the year and I wanted to have a wee break for my head and my mental health.

Referring to Glasto organiser Emily Eavis, he continued: “I am really sorry and I hope Eavis will have me back on because this has been a f*****g s**t show.
“I feel like I will be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks so you probably won’t see much of me for the rest of the year.
