Lewis Capaldi has made his Glastonbury comeback this weekend, two years after taking a break to focus on his mental health.

In 2023, the Someone You Loved singer performed at the festival. But, during the set, he lost his voice and experienced tics leaving him unable to sing the full song. Lewis had been diagnosed with Tourette’s in September 2022.

In heartwarming scenes, the thousands of crowd members stepped in and helped Lewis finish the song.

After his performance, Lewis, 28, announced he was taking a step back to get his “mental and physical health in order”. Now, two years later, Lewis made an incredible return to the Glastonbury stage.
