Lewis Capaldi has the support of his loving girlfriend as he announced his touring hiatus following an emotional performance at Glastonbury Festival.
The Before You Go hitmaker took to the stage at Worthy Farm after a few weeks off work, cancelling a string of gigs at the start of this month in order to be fit enough to perform at the festival.
Unfortunately, the 26-year-old struggled to get through his set because he started to lose his voice.
Lewis, who has Tourette's syndrome, later took to social media to announce he will be cancelling his future tour dates to focus on his mental and physical health.
"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'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future," he wrote at the time.
