Lewis Capaldi announced his hiatus from touring and public life in June 2023, a difficult decision made to prioritize his mental and physical health.

His diagnosis with Tourette's syndrome in September 2022 was a major trigger, as he experienced severe tics while performing at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival.

The moment, when the audience helped him finish the song "Someone You Loved," was the turning point that prompted him to take a break.

During his hiatus, Capaldi focused on therapy and adapting to the impact of Tourette's syndrome.

In April 2025, Lewis Capaldi signaled his comeback with the release of his cover of Britney Spears' "Everytime," which went straight to the UK Singles Downloads Chart.

This culminated in June 2025, when he made a surprise appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, marking his first public appearance since his long hiatus.

He performed his latest single, "Survive," and closed with "Someone You Loved," declaring, "I'm back, baby."

Capaldi has been helping Horan mentor his team members throughout the Battle Rounds. As the Battle Rounds continue this week, we'll take a look back at what happened to the Scottish singer before 2025.

Capaldi will still be continuing to manage his Tourette syndrome. He previously got Botox in his shoulder to “stop it from moving,” he previously revealed.

“It worked for a bit.”

He also took part in a January 2023 study at the University of Nottingham where he helped test out a wrist device that helps combat Tourette’s symptoms.

“The results were remarkable,” a professor who led the project told BBC.

“Lewis stated that the stimulation made him feel calmer, and the device clearly suppressed the head and shoulder tics which can be quite painful for him.”

It’s unclear if he’s still using the device or not.
