Lewis Capaldi returns to Glastonbury with surprise set and emotional message

Lewis Capaldi left Glastonbury goers in a frenzy when he appeared on the stage for a surprise set.

Capaldi’s return came after he struggled to complete his last Glastonbury set in 2023. 

In an emotional moment, the singer had to stop singing as he suffered from tics produced by his Tourette's syndrome.

The audience took over and completed his hit song Someone You Loved in a memorable display of fandom.

On Friday, June 27, the artist returned to the U.K. festival and told the crowd, "Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today because if I did, I might start crying."

He continued: "It's just amazing to be here with you all and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me. Second time's a charm on this one everybody."

"I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time round on this stage. I want to thank everybody at Glastonbury for giving me the chance to do so," added the Forget Me hitmaker.

Capaldi’s 35-minute-long Glastonbury performance came after a splendid return to music with a new single Survive, which he released on June 26, a day before his performance.

Lewis Capaldi has returned to music after a two-year-long hiatus to focus on his health and manage his Tourette's syndrome and anxiety issues better.
