Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi went viral at Glastonbury this weekend when he had to ask the audience to help him sing, but the moment was reminiscent of an important moment for Moses.
Taking to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury would arguably be the biggest performance of an artist’s career. The famous slot has been previously been filled by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton, Oasis, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Adele, Kayne West, Coldplay and many more. This year Lewis Capaldi was offered a spot on the prestigious stage. In preparation Lewis, who has been vocal about his battle with his mental health, stepped back from all performances in the run up to the show to “rest and recover”.
On Saturday, the day of his performance, the 26-year-old had to stop singing halfway through the set. Lewis became emotional and started to struggle with Tourette’s, something he’s previously spoken about in his top ranking Netflix documentary. The singer lost his voice and started twitching, something that can happen when a person with the condition is under stress. He stopped singing and apologised to the crowd. And then something really special happened.
