Lewis Capaldi makes heartbreaking announcement after struggling to finish his Glastonbury performance

LEWIS Capaldi fought back tears as he admitted he may not return to the stage this year.

The singer was forced to cut his Glastonbury set short by six minutes as he battled with his voice.

He bravely performed on the Pyramid Stage last night after taking a month off to recover from mental health challenges.

Lewis was helped by adoring fans who sang his songs back to him as he struggled with his Tourette’s.

The 26-year-old cancelled all work commitments this month as he geared up for Glastonbury, having struggled mentally and physically.

Lewis said: “I recently took three weeks off just because I have been non-stop since the start of the year and I wanted to have a wee break for my head and my mental health.

“I wanted to come back and to do Glastonbury because it is so incredible, so I just wanted to thank you all for coming out and watching us.

“I was s**t-scared but you really made me feel at ease.”

Referring to Glasto organiser Emily Eavis, he continued: “I am really sorry and I hope Eavis will have me back on because this has been a f*****g s**t show.

“I feel like I will be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks so you probably won’t see much of me for the rest of the year.

“But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you are all still up for watching us and singing songs with us.”

Lewis opened with his new track Forget Me, from latest album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, before ending with chart-topper Someone You Loved.

In a heartfelt end to his set, Lewis, who first played Glastonbury in 2019, added: “It genuinely means a lot for me to be here. If I never get to be here again, this has been enough.”
