Lewis Capaldi makes secret return to Glastonbury festival one year after breaking down in tears on stage
Lewis Capaldi has returned to Glastonbury one year after he broke down in tears in an emotional performance on stage.
The Scottish singer, 27, was spotted hanging out with stars including Noel Gallagher, 57, and Cara Delevingne, 31.
Lewis struggled to complete his Pyramid stage headline slot last year and later announced he was taking a break from performing.
An onlooker this weekend said: “Lewis looked so happy.
“He was saying how pleased he was to be back at Worthy Farm and that he was going out to see some acts over the weekend.
“Given how hard his last visit to Worthy Farm was, it was so nice seeing him back here.”
COMEBACK KING
Last year, the Glasto crowds helped Hold Me While You Wait singer Lewis finish his tracks as he struggled with his condition.
He lost his voice and battled through the performance despite a great deal of tics as he played the main stage set.
They cheered and chanted “oh Lewis Capaldi” as they attempted to see him through.
In an emotional announcement on-stage, he then told the crowd: “I recently took three weeks off just because I’ve been non stop the past year and I wanted to take a wee break from my head for my mental health.
“I wanted to come back and do Glastonbury because it’s obviously so incredible so I just want to thank you all for coming out. I was scared but you’ve really made me feel at ease so thank you very much for that.”
Scot Lewis added: “I feel like I’ll 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 maybe even. But when I do come back, when I do see you, I hope you’re all still up for watching.”
His second studio album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, details his battles with anxiety and being an hypochondriac.
Meanwhile, his Tourette’s syndrome diagnosis was detailed in a Netflix series.
ALL OVER?
In a previous interview with The Sunday Times, Lewis said singing is the trigger for his neurological condition.
He told the publication: “It’s only making music that does this to me.

“Otherwise I can be fine for months at a time. So it’s a weird situation.
“Right now, the trade-off is worth it.
“But if it gets to a point where I’m doing irreparable damage to myself, I’ll quit.
“I hate hyperbole, but it is a very real possibility I will pack music in.”
