Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi said on Tuesday he takes a break from touring for the foreseeable future as he tries to adjust to the impact of Tourette’s band.
His announcement follows his performance at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, where he appeared to be losing his voice as the gang carried him through his songs.
“Initially, thanks Glastonbury for welcoming me, for singing after I needed it and for all of the amazing news afterwards,” he wrote in an announcement.
“The incontrovertible fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I regret to inform you that I intend to take a break from touring for the foreseeable future,” he added.
Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes individuals to make involuntary sounds and movements, often referred to as tics. Capaldi revealed last September that he had been diagnosed with the disease.

Capaldi, 26, was due to perform in Zurich, Switzerland, on Wednesday.
His current tour, which included Australia, South Korea and Iceland, culminated within the United Arab Emirates on October 7.
In his statement, Capaldi said he was “still learning to adapt to the impact of my Tourette syndrome, and on Saturday it became obvious that I want to spend way more time finding out my mental and physical health in order that I can proceed doing every little thing I really like for a very long time to come.” “.

In an interview with The Associated Press in April following the discharge of the Netflix documentary concerning the Grammy-nominated star, Capaldi said he was blissful to be diagnosed together with his symptoms. On the time, he said he was trying to “not learn an excessive amount of” about Tourette syndrome as it might often make his condition worse.
The documentary, titled How I’m Feeling Now, shows the fear and anxiety that plagued Capaldi as he returned home to Scotland and tried to write latest songs in the course of the pandemic.
