Lewis Capaldi was recently spotted taking a winter walk in London's Hampstead Heath, dressed warmly in a black puffer jacket and joggers. This outing comes after his decision in 2023 to pause his music career to focus on his mental health and manage his Tourette Syndrome. During a performance at Glastonbury, Capaldi openly discussed his struggles, raising awareness about his condition.
Lewis announced last June that he needed to take a break away from his job to focus on himself. On June 6, 2023, he said he was going to take time out to rest and recover after a "mentally and physically" challenging few months - cancelling all shows and gigs he had been scheduled to play over the next three weeks.
In a statement, Lewis said: "I need to take a moment to rest and recover, to be at my best and ready for Glastonbury and all the other incredible shows coming up, so that I'm able to continue doing what I love for a long time to come. I need to take these three weeks to be Lewis from Glasgow for a bit, spend some time with my family and friends and do normal life things that are an important part of me feeling better." Lewis then returned to play on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Lewis has been open about his struggle with Tourette’s syndrome after going public with his diagnosis in September 2022. Just months later, Lewis revealed his condition had worsened and he was struggling to control his tics while performing, acknowledging there could come a day when he'd have to quit music because of it.
