Lewis Capaldi’s return to music revealed after ‘getting mental health right’
He took a break from touring two years ago.
Lewis Capaldi is close to his comeback, with his close friend YungBlud confirming ‘new music’ is on the way.
In 2023 the Scottish singer, 28, announced a break from touring after his Tourette’s flared up while on stage at Glastonbury and he struggled through his performance.
Soon after he shared a statement on social media sharing: ‘The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.’
Now, two years on, he looks set to return to the public eye very soon.
Speaking at an event showcasing his own new music, Yungblud said: ‘I have heard his new music and it sounds great.
‘He is getting his mental health right. I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together.

Speaking about a ballad Lewis wrote on his new album, Yungblud explained: ‘When I was making this album, I was really close with Lewis, and Lewis was like, “Just f***ing sing, man”. And we have a massive British actress in the video. It’s going to be iconic.’

Soon after he cancelled a string of shows, explaining he needed 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’.
In a heartfelt statement he also addressed his fans: ‘Playing for you every night is all I’ve ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I’ll be back as soon as I possibly can.’
His second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent detailed his battles with anxiety while his Tourette’s syndrome was discussed in the Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now.
