Lewis Capaldi cancels all upcoming work commitments to “take a moment to rest and recover” until he performs at Glastonbury Festival on June 24th.
The Scottish singer apologises to fans in an Instagram post saying he has been “struggling” for the past few months both “mentally and physically”.
Earlier this year, Capaldi shared his struggles with fame and how it impacted his mental health in the Netflix documentary, “Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now”.
Read his statement from Instagram below:
In the post, Capaldi begins by saying, “This is a really difficult message, and one that hurts me a lot to have to type. But I’m really sorry to say that I’m going to have to cancel all commitments from now until I play Glastonbury on June 24th. It’s been such an incredible time leading into this new album, and seeing all of the support from everyone has been beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. That said, the last few months have been full on both mentally and physically, I haven’t been home properly since Christmas and at the moment I’m struggling to get to grips with it all.”
He continued: “I need to take a moment to rest and recover, to be at my best and ready for Glastonbury and all of the other incredible shows coming up so that I’m able to continue doing what I love for a long time to come. I need to take these three weeks to be Lewis from Glasgow for a bit, spend some time with my family and friends and do normal life things that are an important part of me feeling better. I hope everyone understands. The fact you’re willing to come out and spend your time, money and love on these shows is beyond comprehension and I feel incredibly lucky I’m getting all the help and support I need from the incredible people around me who I’m so grateful for. I take none of this for granted and can’t wait to be back doing it again. All my love, Lewis x”.
He has been scheduled to play concerts in Glasgow, Dublin, London, and Norway in June.
