Lewis Capaldi Accuses Celebrities of Faking Support During Health Hiatus

Lewis Capaldi revealed that while he received genuine support from friends like Elton John and Niall Horan during his 2023 hiatus caused by his Tourette's Syndrome and mental health struggles, some celebrities falsely claimed to have reached out to him, which he described as "bizarre" and "weird." The Scottish singer's breakdown during his Glastonbury set led him to take a two-year break to focus on his health, during which he stopped using antidepressants after a difficult withdrawal. Capaldi praised the support he did receive, highlighting Elton John's call advising him to take a break and his ongoing communication with Niall Horan. Despite the disappointment from some false claims of support, Capaldi has made a triumphant return to music, performing again at Glastonbury and releasing the successful track "Survive." He also shared that therapy has helped him feel better than he has in a long time, though he recognizes anxiety will likely remain a part of his life. Capaldi chose not to name those who lied about their support, focusing instead on his recovery and positive comeback.
