Singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi has announced he will be taking a break from touring “for the foreseeable future,” saying he is “still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s.”

Addressing his performance at last week's Glastonbury Festival in the UK, he said it was “obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.”
