I\u2019m a bit annoyed with myself,\u201d he said, per BBC. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won\u2019t see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even,\u201d the \u2018Before You Go\u2019 singer added. \u201cBut when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you\u2019re still up for watching us.\u201d With regards to Glastonbury, Capaldi said it was his dream. \u201cIf I never get to do it again, this has been enough,\u201d he told the crowd before walking off.

It really does mean the world. \u201cThe fact that this probably won\u2019t come as a surprise doesn\u2019t make it any easier to write, but I\u2019m very sorry to let you know I\u2019m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future. \u201cI used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I\u2019d hoped three weeks away would sort me out. \u201cBut the truth is I\u2019m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette\u2019s and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.\u201d He continued: \u201cI know I\u2019m incredibly fortunate to be able to take some time out when others can\u2019t and I\u2019d like to thank my amazing family, friends, team, medical professionals and all of you who\u2019ve been so supportive every step of the way through the good times and even more so during this past year when I\u2019ve needed it more than ever. \u201cI\u2019m so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve. Playing for you every night is all I\u2019ve ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. \u201cI\u2019ll be back as soon as I possibly can.\u201d What are Lewis Capaldi\u2019s health issues?
