Lewis Capaldi fans helped him finish his song in Glastonbury over the weekend.
On Saturday, the 26-year-old musician returned to the festival’s Pyramid Stage after canceling three weeks of concerts due to health reasons. While the “Forget Me” singer got off to a good start, he began apologizing to audiences when his Tourette syndrome symptoms began to worsen.

“Glastonbury, I’m really sorry,” he said. I’m a little angry with myself. I’m really sorry. You all came and my voice is really having problems. »
When he fell silent during his final song, “Someone You Loved,” the audience jumped in to help him finish the song by singing the lyrics to the 2018 hit ballad. “Glastonbury, thank you very much,” said the pop star at the end of his concert. If I can never do that again, great. »
