Lovers of Lewis Capaldi’s songs may need to start bracing themselves for the day when the singer will no longer be releasing or performing new music. The 26-year-old recently revealed that if his Tourette syndrome worsens, he will quit the music industry for good.
He also shared that the symptoms of the disease occur mainly when he is “making music” and that the pain he experiences varies from day to day. The singer’s Netflix documentary is set to debut on the platform on April 5.

‘I Need to Pack the Music’

Capaldi revealed that he would hang up his musical boots if he could no longer cope with the symptoms of his Tourette syndrome. The “Before You Go” singer was diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome in 2022, although she had been experiencing symptoms for years.
“If it gets to the point where I’m doing irreparable damage to myself, I’ll stop,” Capaldi said in an interview with Time in London. “I hate hyperbole, but it’s a genuine possibility that I need to pack music.”
He adds that “making music” stimulates symptoms; otherwise, he can go a month without having an episode. However, the singer said he didn’t mind the “weird situation,” adding that “the trade-off was worth it.”
Capaldi’s disease is known to have no cure and comes with uncontrollable symptoms such as repetitive movements or unwanted sounds, described as tics.
Her Tourette’s Episodes Have Intensified

Elsewhere in the conversation, Capaldi claimed that his tics have increased, especially during the show, but he still always tries to manage them.
“I tried to overcome it. If I can’t, I screw up,” said Capaldi. “It’s easier when I play the guitar, but I hate it. I know, I’m a walking contradiction.”
One of these Tourette’s episodes happened in February when the singer was performing at his show in Frankfurt, Germany.
It happened just as Capaldi was singing the last song of the night and his biggest hit, “Someone You Loved,” forcing him to pause mid-song and let the audience lead the way.
The following month, he had to tell people in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that they might witness him having a few episodes and not to worry.
“You can see I’m twitching a little bit here. It’s nothing to worry about – I’ve got Tourette’s. I’m fine, honey. I’m here; I’m fine,” he said, per Rolling Stone. “I’m great; it’s all good; I just twitched a little.”

Last September, Capaldi opened up to fans about his Tourette’s disease to answer questions about why he was seen twitching in several interviews.
“I’ve always had it,” said the British singer. “The worst thing is that when I get excited, I get it; when I’m stressed, I understand; when I’m happy, I understand. It happens all the time.”
The singer stated that she was in severe pain from the symptoms on some days, and on other days, the pain subsided.
He said, “It looks a lot worse than it is. Sometimes it’s a bit uncomfortable … but it comes and goes.”
The 26-year-old also revealed that he had Botox in his shoulder to help reduce the recurrence of tics but the effects of the surgery only “worked for a while.”
Lewis Capaldi’s Netflix documentary
Capaldi will debut his Netflix documentary, “How I’m Feeling Now,” on April 5, featuring many topics he has yet to share with the public.
“I think because I seem pretty open about a lot of things, whether it’s in interviews, on stage, or social media, people think they know a lot about me and my life, but really, I tend to keep a lot to myself. things to myself as a priority,” the singer wrote in a note shared on social media.
He also stated that he was “very nervous” about the film debuting for public viewing after spending two and a half years in production.
Still, the singer said he was “so excited to share it with the world” and “so proud of what has happened in this documentary.”
