Lewis Capaldi, the Scottish sensation, is back and better than ever. After a tough time dealing with Tourette’s syndrome, he's now rocking the biggest stages and topping the charts. Remember Glastonbury 2023? That's where things got tough for him. But he didn't give up. He took time off to focus on his mental health and made a killer comeback at Glastonbury this year.
He's been busy! Last month, he dropped his new EP, "Survive, " which is a follow-up to his 2023 album "Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent. " That album was a huge hit, spending three weeks at No. 1 in the U. K. and spawning three chart-topping singles. Now, he's on a sold-out tour in Australia, which wraps up on December 17th.
During his visit, he chatted with The Hit Network’s Carrie & Tommy about his journey. He talked about therapy, medication, and the changes he made to get his life back on track. He even shared that he banned everyone from backstage during his Glastonbury performance to avoid any anxious energy. Smart move!
Capaldi also opened up about using aripiprazole, a medication that helps with his anxiety and tics. He's been going to therapy every week and feels much better. He even mentioned how Australia's summer vibe has been great for him, encouraging him to get out more and enjoy his surroundings.
Before his break, Capaldi was unstoppable. His debut album from 2019, "Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, " made him a superstar. It spent 10 weeks at No. 1 in the U. K. and was the biggest-selling domestic album for both 2019 and 2020. His hit single "Someone You Loved" was a global smash.
This year, Capaldi made a smooth return to the top with his new single "Survive, " which debuted at No. 1 on the Official U. K. Singles Chart. He's grateful for the support and the positive impact he's had on others dealing with similar issues. It's clear that Lewis Capaldi is not just back—he's thriving.
