On the heels of his return to Glastonbury Festival in the U.K., Lewis Capaldi is opening up about his mental health journey and the difficult public moments that made him realize he needed help.

Lewis Capaldi has opened up about his harrowing experience at Glastonbury 2023 when he had a panic attack so bad he ‘convulsed’ backstage. He also described his surprise 2025 Glastonbury set as a ‘mental win’ after what he now sees as the most important turning point of his life.

Lewis Capaldi has revealed that he convulsed before going on stage at Glastonbury in 2023, which went on to be his last performance before a two year hiatus. The singer has been extremely open about his struggles with anxiety and Tourette syndrome – which caused him not to finish his set at the festival that year.
