    Lewis Capaldi believes therapy has played a "massive part" in his musical comeback

    The 28-year-old singer recently performed on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, two years after he was forced to end his set early amid his struggles with Tourette syndrome, and Lewis now admits that therapy has transformed his life


    In a video chat with BetterHelp, the Someone You Loved hitmaker explained: "Therapy is the reason why I am able to be a musician again. I don't think I'll ever stop going to therapy after the impact it's had on my life over the past two years."

    Lewis has joined forces with BetterHelp, the online therapy platform, to provide 734,000 hours of free therapy to his fans.

    Sara Brooks, the chief growth officer of BetterHelp, said: "To have someone as globally recognised as Lewis Capaldi share so authentically how getting help through online therapy has transformed his life is incredibly powerful. We're grateful to have Lewis speak up and use his platform to help break down the stigma of therapy."

    In 2023, Lewis struggled through his performance at Glastonbury, as he dealt with the symptoms of Tourette syndrome.

    The award-winning star told the crowd at the time: "I recently took three weeks off just because I've been non-stop the past year and I wanted to take a wee break from my head for my mental health.

    "I wanted to come back and do Glastonbury because it's obviously so incredible so I just want to thank you all for coming out. I was scared but you've really made me feel at ease so thank you very much for that."

    Lewis subsequently announced that he planned to take a break from performing live.

    He explained: "I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks so you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year maybe even. But when I do come back, when I do see you, I hope you're all still up for watching."
