Continuing the Hiatus

Capaldi stressed that he wants to ensure he is fully recovered before returning to performing and doing what he loves. He has been open about his struggles with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and Tourette's syndrome, which made it difficult for him to finish a performance at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival.
Despite the extended hiatus, Capaldi expressed his gratitude to his fans for their ongoing support and understanding.
Background on Capaldi's Health Struggles
Lewis Capaldi has been candid about his various health struggles, including anxiety, imposter syndrome, and Tourette's syndrome. Tourette's syndrome causes involuntary body movements and vocal outbursts, which can impact his performances.
During the emotional set at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, Capaldi had to rely on fans to finish singing his hit song 'Someone You Loved' when he couldn't continue. This experience further emphasized the need for him to prioritize his mental and physical health.
Capaldi's extended edition of Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent will be available at midnight on New Year's Day.
