Lewis Capaldi shares heartbreaking announcement after struggling at Glastonbury Festival

Lewis Capaldi has made an announcement after performing at Glastonbury Festival where he struggled to finish his set. The singer, from Scotland, shared that he might not appear at Worthy Farm again.

As reported by Birmingham Live, Lewis told his fans on stage they might not see him for the rest of the year as he is set to take a break. During his performance, at the main stage, he battled through losing his voice and other issues, after recently being diagnosed with Tourette's.

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. I wanted to come back and to do Glastonbury because it is so incredible, so I just wanted to thank you all for coming out and watching us.

“I was s**t-scared but you really made me feel at ease.” 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. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you are all still up for watching us and singing songs with us.”

He told the crowd: "I'm going to be honest everybody but I'm starting to lose my voice up here, but we're going to keep going and we're going to go until the end. I just need you all to sing with me as loud as you can if that's okay?"

He continued: "I hate to bring the mood down, I mean my music is depressing, I don't know why I'm saying that. I hate to bring the mood down but the next song is for my aunt who is dead."

He added that it was also for his mother, but clarified she is still "alive and well".
