Lewis Capaldi, a Scottish artist, stated on Tuesday that he will stop travelling "for the foreseeable future," including the duration of his current world tour, to adjust to life with Tourette's disease, which he was diagnosed with last year.
Capaldi, 26, lost his voice during a performance Saturday at the Glastonbury Festival in England and had to rely on the huge, enthusiastic crowd to finish his 2018 hit "Someone You Loved."
In the three weeks leading up to Glastonbury, he had canceled shows, he said, to take a “moment to rest and recover.”
In his statement on Tuesday announcing the break from touring, Capaldi wrote, “The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write.”
“I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I’d hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out,” he wrote. “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.”
Tourette's condition is characterised by uncontrolled tics and vocalisations, and Capaldi was observed twitching onstage during his performance on Saturday.
His next concert was slated for Wednesday in Zurich, followed by dates in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
This April, he published "How I'm Feeling Now," a Netflix documentary on his diagnosis and treatment. He also talked about it in an interview with The New York Times last month, just before releasing his second studio album, "Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent."
"This sounds gross, but it's become part of like a marketing strategy," he explained. "Every piece of content or thing I see with my name next to it is closely followed by Tourette's."
