Lewis Capaldi relaxes during career break by taking up a sport he previously slammed

Lewis Capaldi has been using R&R time to relax on the links.

The singer cancelled all work commitments in the three weeks before Glastonbury, admitting his intense schedule had taken its toll on him “mentally and physically”.

Lewis, 26, was spotted at St Andrews yesterday, and stocked up on golf supplies before playing a few holes.

His friend Niall Horan got him into the sport, which is supposed to be good for easing anxiety.

Earlier this month, Lewis apologised to fans and said: “I haven’t been home properly since Christmas and at the moment I’m struggling to get to grips with it all. I need to take these three weeks to be Lewis from Glasgow for a bit, spend some time with my family and friends.”

It came after he documented his mental health struggles in a Netflix documentary.

Niall previously said Lewis described golf as “an old man’s sport”.

But he added: “And then about eight weeks later he was asking me where he could get a set of golf clubs so I got him a set.”

Hopefully, by Saturday, Lewis will be back on top form.
