After taking two years off from music due to his health, singer Lewis Capaldi made a huge comeback last month by playing a secret set at Glastonbury.
Lewis Capaldi has revealed his drummer was left in tears after he made his sensational return to Glastonbury. The chart-topping singer, 28, performed a secret set at Worthy Farm this year, which came two years on from him struggling with Tourettes at the festival.
He made a huge comeback for a 35-minute show on the iconic Pyramid Stage, marking his return to performing after a two year break. Lewis confessed he had planned to quit music all together despite his huge success after his show at Glastonbury in 2023.
In a change of heart, Lewis agreed to head back to the world famous festival and despite it being a secret set, he told his fans in advance as he was worried nobody would turn up.
On the Apple Music Music Music That Soothes Me series, he confessed, “I’m not great at keeping secrets; I wanted it to be a surprise, but we had to start leaking it out a few weeks before because it would have been strange to come out in an empty field.”
It was the worst-kept secret by that weekend. I adored every second of it, which was unquestionably the best day of my life. Lewis explained how deeply the moment affected him, saying, “Almost immediately, I was overcome with emotion and I started well up, so I was like, get it together,” but then I turned around and looked at my drummer, and he was in a coma of tears.
“It was weird, I knew it was going to be fine this time around. I had nerves and butterflies, but it wasn’t the same as 2023 when I was so stressed and I knew something bad was going to happen. It was spectacular.”
Lewis performed his new song Survive while performing it on the famed stage. The singer urges fans to receive the same kind of support he had on his path to recovery in the deeply personal track about his mental health struggles and recovery.
Lewis remarked about his performance on the 2023 Pyramid Stage, “I was completely on autopilot.” I watch it again, and I’m depressed. I wasn’t indulging anything.
He thanked those who assisted him throughout the process, saying that it “made it much less embarrassing.” Lewis continued, “I feel the worst because of what I wanted to do most.” It resembled an odd combination of emotions.
He continued, saying that while others might consider the video’s portrayal of the day as encouraging and that he actually experienced the moment in his life as “the worst moment of his life”
Lewis explained in the video of the conversation with BetterHelp that he felt “done indefinitely” with the music industry.
He said, “I took a break because I needed a break and to sort of like release the pressure valve a little bit. I didn’t take a break to just focus on getting better.”
Lewis continued, “The therapy has been a major reason why I’m able to be a musician once more.” To provide the support I needed, this seems like such a good thing.
