Taking to Twitter to share the devastating news, Lewis Capaldi penned a heartbreaking letter to his fans.

"The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I am going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future," he wrote.

At the start of the letter, he thanked everyone in Glastonbury for having him and continuing to sing for him as he experienced some tics while singing his hit song "Someone You Love."

"Glastonbury, I'm really sorry," he told the crowd who then supported him as they shouted the lyrics of their song. "I'm a bit annoyed with myself."

Fans of Capaldi knew that the singer wanted to give his best every time while performing, even if his Tourette's started to kick in.

Weeks before the Glastonbury stint, Capaldi announced that he would be taking a break from his remaining concerts to get better for Glastonbury. However, in the letter, he said that he needs more than three weeks' rest.

"But the truth is, I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come," he continued to say.

After thanking everyone who has supported him, Capaldi also apologized to those who has bought tickets for the remainder of his now-canceled concerts.

Lewis Capaldi Tourette Syndrome

In September 2022, Capaldi bravely revealed to the world that he was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome. On many occasions, he has been public about discussing his diagnosis and even had to face involuntary tics during performances in his concerts.

In his Netflix Documentary, "Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now," Capaldi opens up about how he has to face the struggle and even admitted that he pushed the treatment back then.

"When I'm in traffic, it flares up. When I'm exhausted or after a big thing, it gets very bad," he said, "It comes and goes. It's part of life. Get used to it."
