Who is he? Lewis Capaldi is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Scotland.
Capaldi first rose to fame with the success of his hit single, "Someone you loved" topping the UK charts and propelling him to stardom in 2019.
Since then, Capaldi has had five number 1 hits in the UK, toured across the globe and released a Netflix documentary that outlines his struggles with mental health while navigating his sudden and overwhelming fame.
In September of 2022, Capaldi shared in an Instagram livestream that he had officially been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary vocal or motor tics.
Tourette's is also widely misunderstood and far more common than one might think. Tics can become more prominent due to factors like stress and anxiety.
