Lewis Capaldi headlined the Glastonbury Festival on June 24, 2023, but experienced a vocal issue during his performance of “Someone You Loved.” Despite losing his voice, Capaldi continued singing with the support of the audience. He apologized for the vocal shift and asked the crowd to sing along with him. Moments into the chorus, he had to pause, and the packed crowd at the Worthy Farm stage enthusiastically sang the lyrics in his place. The incident gained praise on social media, with many commending Capaldi for his courage and the crowd for their incredible support.
Capaldi had previously revealed that he has Tourette’s Syndrome and explained that he experiences shoulder twitches as a result. He had undergone Botox treatment to minimize the twitches, but they still occurred during moments of excitement, stress, and happiness. Capaldi had canceled his lineup of concerts leading up to Glastonbury to prioritize rest and recovery. He expressed gratitude for the support he received and announced his intention to extend his touring hiatus after the festival.
Capaldi’s performance at Glastonbury, despite his vocal challenges, showcased his resilience and the power of unity between artist and audience. His openness about his Tourette’s Syndrome and mental health struggles has also resonated with fans, who appreciate his authenticity and candor.
