Lewis Capaldi makes heartbreaking comeback after disappearing from public for two years due to struggles

We're absolutely delighted for Lewis Capaldi who has made an incredible comeback after almost two long years of releasing no music.

The 'Someone You Loved' hitmaker, 28, who stepped away from the stoplight due to mental health reasons, has dropped some big news on social media.

Spoiler alert, he hasn't said anything about performing at Glastonbury - but there have been some big hints.

Capaldi struggled to finish his Glasto set in 2023 and asked the crowd to sing for him because he was suffering from vocal issues and a Tourette’s flare-up.

“I’m going to be honest everybody but I’m starting to lose my voice up here, but we’re going to keep going and we’re going to go until the end,” he said at the time.

“I just need you all to sing with me as loud as you can if that’s okay?”

Before his final song, Capaldi spoke about his mental health issues and told the crowd: “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.”

Why did Lewis Capaldi take a break from music?

Capaldi announced that he was taking a break from touring after struggling to finish his Glastonbury set.

Taking to Instagram, the Scottish singer wrote: "Hello everyone.

"First of all thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards. It really does mean the world."

He added: "I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out, but the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come."

Lewis Capaldi drops first song in one and half years

Announcing the long-awaited comeback, Capaldi has released a new song called 'Survive', where he appears to address what he's been got through lately.

In the emotional track, he sings: "Most nights, I fear / That I'm not enough / I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up / But, when hope is lost / And I come undone."

Determined to turn things around amid the various struggles, he adds in the chorus: "I swear to God, I'll survive / If it kills me to / I'm gonna get up and try."

He sings: "If it's the last thing I do / I've still got something to give / Though it hurts sometimes / I'm gonna get up and live / Until the day that I die / I swear to God, I'll survive."

Before Glastonbury kicked off on Wednesday (25 June), fans noticed signs popping up with messages such as: "I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up," alongside a mental health help call number.

Another billboard posted after Glastonbury read: "Most nights I fear that I’m not enough."

We now know that the message was lyrics from his new track.

Now, he could perform his latest single on Friday (27 June), which would be his first on-stage set since 2023.

According to The Sun, sources says he could be taking to the Pyramid Stage on the secret slot in between Alanis Morrisette (finishing at 7:15pm) and Biffy Clyro (starting at 8:15pm).

"Lewis took a decent chunk of time away, and now he’s ready for his fans to hear what he has been working on," a source told the outlet.

"Tomorrow is a huge day for him. He will be releasing a brand new single, and it is his Pyramid Stage performance.

"He is in a great place and feels ready to come back into the spotlight."
