Lewis Capaldi Champions Therapy After Comeback

Lewis Capaldi has credited therapy as essential to his emotional comeback and return to live music after a two-year break, following a difficult Glastonbury 2023 performance where he struggled with Tourette syndrome and anxiety. He revealed that at the time, he believed the show might be his last due to overwhelming pressure and inability to be present. Therapy played a 'massive part' in his recovery, helping him manage mental health challenges and resume performing. In partnership with BetterHelp, Capaldi is donating 734,000 free hours of therapy—1,000 for each day since his last show—to support others. He stressed that therapy is not a quick fix and finding the right therapist is important. Capaldi’s actions aim to destigmatize therapy and spotlight mental health support in the music industry.
