British singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has announced that he will be extending his break from touring after a six-month hiatus helped improve his health. The decision came after Capaldi faced difficulties with his voice during a performance at Glastonbury. In a social media post, the 27-year-old artist revealed that he has been working with professionals to manage his Tourette's Syndrome and anxiety, and has noticed a significant improvement in his condition since taking time off.
Capaldi, known for his hit song "Someone You Loved," also shared exciting news about his music career. He informed fans that he will be releasing an extended version of his second album, titled "Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent," featuring five new songs on Monday. Despite his break from the music scene, Capaldi expressed his gratitude to his loyal fans for their unwavering support.
Reflecting on the pressures of fame discussed in his Netflix documentary, "Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now," the talented musician acknowledged the impact it had on his mental and physical well-being. The success of his first album, "Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent," raised expectations for his sophomore release, adding to the pressure and stress he experienced.
Capaldi's decision to focus on his health and take a break from touring was well received by his fans, who continue to show immense love for his music. Despite not being able to promote or perform live, his album "Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent" garnered 95,000 chart units during its first week on sale in May 2023. However, it later lost the title for the biggest opening of the year to Taylor Swift's rerecording of her 2014 album "1989."
The singer-songwriter expressed his appreciation for the ongoing support from his fans, stating that their connection with his music meant the world to him. While Capaldi takes time to prioritize his well-being, he plans to continue writing music and looks forward to returning to the stage when he is fully ready.
As fans eagerly await Capaldi's return, they can look forward to his participation in the BBC's New Year's Eve concert, where he will be joined by fellow artists Rylan Clark and Sharleen Spiteri.
