It comes after fans helped the star by singing his hit Someone You Loved for him in Frankfurt this week when he experienced Tourette’s symptoms mid-show.

In the now-viral clip, Lewis can be seen walking away from the microphone as he struggled with his head and shoulder shaking uncontrollably.

However, the audience quickly showed their support for the star and continued to sing the song en masse.

Lewis then appeared to regain his composure as he continued with the performance.

Sharing the clip on TikTok, one fan wrote: “We root for you!” and captioned the video: “Fans finishing song for Lewis as he wrestles with his Tourette.”

Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a combination of noises and involuntary movements called tics.

The disorder usually begins during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be verbal, such as swearing, or physical, such as head shaking.

The cause of Tourette syndrome is unknown. However, it is believed to be related to problems with a part of the brain known as the basal ganglia, which help regulate body movements.

Candid: Lewis revealed he had the neurological condition, which is characterized by a combination of noises and involuntary movements called tics, last year.

This disorder affects approximately 78 million people worldwide and there is currently no cure, only treatments that control the symptoms.

The Brit award winner recently tested a new watch-like device to relieve tics and found that the device suppressed head and shoulder movements.

The Neupulse device, developed at the University of Nottingham, delivers mild electrical stimulation currents to nerves in the wrist, influencing brain networks involved in generating tics.

The device appears to be a game changer for the musician – he instantly felt at ease once the device was activated.

It comes after the Hold Me While You Wait hitmaker said learning he had Tourette’s was “a huge relief”, and he is now embracing his new role as “poster boy” for the condition.

Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show last year, he said: ‘I have Tourette’s. I didn’t mean it to be a big thing. I shudder a lot.

‘My left shoulder comes up and I do this with my head. Now I’m the poster boy for Tourette. I’ll take it, I’ll gladly accept it.

‘It was seven or eight months ago [that I was diagnosed]. I thought she had a degenerative disease. So to be told that I did indeed have Tourette’s, as you can imagine, was a huge relief. Alright. Everything works.

‘I thought I was pretty alone in being nervous. It has been a relief and, if anything, nice to know that I have a community. I’m quite an anxious person, I really start to overthink things if something is wrong, this was a weight off my mind.

Capaldi admitted that his condition can “really affect my performance,” but his tics come in “ebbs and flows,” and he tends to notice less of the effects of Tourette’s if he takes care of himself with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

He told presenter Jonathan Ross, 62, on the ITV chat show: “It definitely gets worse on stage sometimes.” Sometimes it can really affect my performance.

It has ebbs and flows. If I take care of myself, I exercise, I go to the gym -which by the way is the same thing- if I don’t drink too much or take a walk in the park and breathe a nice summer air. I hate commitment. I’m a loose guy.
