Lewis Capaldi Reveals Convulsing Episodes During 2023 Glastonbury, Chicago Shows

Lewis Capaldi has opened up about his severe panic attacks and convulsing episodes that led to a breakdown on stage at Glastonbury 2023, which he now sees as the most important day of his life. He revealed that a similar, even worse episode occurred weeks earlier backstage in Chicago, where he was unable to finish a song due to convulsions and a mental health crisis. Capaldi described the Glastonbury incident as a turning point that forced him to seek help and take a two-year hiatus to focus on his mental health and manage his Tourette's syndrome. He admitted that he had previously struggled with setting boundaries and feared missing out on career opportunities, which contributed to his decline. The singer viewed his return to Glastonbury in 2025 as a 'mental win' and expressed relief that his breakdown happened when it did, fearing that continuing without intervention could have led to much worse consequences. Capaldi's candid reflections highlight the importance of mental health awareness in the music industry.
