Lewis Capaldi has hilarious reaction to the Red Arrows flypast during his Glastonbury set

Lewis Capaldi had a hilarious reaction to the Red Arrows flypast during his Saturday afternoon Glastonbury set.

The Scottish singer, 26, was shocked and said he almost felt himself after the noisy planes overhead.

It came just before fans gathered around him as he struggled with his Tourette’s symptoms while on stage after a three-week mental health break.

Joking about the Red Arrows on stage, he said, “Oh by the way, did anyone see those goddamn jets fly over. Is that normal? Does that happen often?’

The crowd then replied ‘No!’ as Lewis went on, “No? Well, maybe they thought ‘you know what that Lewis Capaldi set needs? Send those bloody red arrows!’

He continued, “I’m not going to lie, I screwed myself for a minute – I thought we were all f***ed!”

The star had canceled all work commitments earlier this month to “rest and recuperate” ahead of the much-anticipated music festival.

Lewis returned to the stage and admitted he’d been “s**t scared” of performing when he opened up about his mental health struggles, confirming he’d be taking another break from the spotlight after the show.

In the middle of his set, Lewis confessed that he struggled with his Tourette’s, saying his voice had “packed up” after coughing throughout the show.

Gilles de la Tourette is a neurological disorder characterized by a combination of involuntary sounds and movements called tics that can cause speech and voice abnormalities.

Despite his struggles, Lewis insisted on going ahead with his set and his supportive fans gathered around him, as the show came to an emotional end as the audience sang Someone You Love to him.

In the heartwarming moment, Lewis walked across the Pyramid Stage and sang short bursts of the song as the friendly crowd sang heartily in support of the star.

Many fans also took to Twitter after the show to send kind words to Lewis, sharing how the emotional crowd was reduced to tears during the last song of his set.

They also insisted the Scottish singer had nothing to apologize for, while praising his ‘fantastic’ show and praising him for finishing his set despite his struggles.

One fan wrote: ‘Blown away @LewisCapaldi at Glastonbury. I’ve been coming for years and it’s one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. Absolutely nothing to apologize for, everyone around me was crying by the end. Astonishing.’

Another said, “Bravo @LewisCapaldi. A brilliant set and well done for continuing. You don’t have to apologize for a fantastic show at all.’

While a third tweeted, “Lewis Capaldi’s last song was such an emotional watch, good for him for giving it his all!!”

A fourth commented, “Fantastic show at Glastonbury, friend, take a break, friend, you come first, health is more important than anything.”

And another gushed, ‘@LewisCapaldi thanks for pushing through mate, #Glasto loves you. Besides, while you said you were struggling, you made us rock and eat our heads off with your great songs. Rest up dude.’

Despite his fans’ incredible support, Lewis looked downcast as he left the stage and thanked his fans for all their support after helping him sing.

During his performance, which preceded the set of headliners Guns N Roses, Lewis had apologized to fans for ‘wrapping’ his voice, but insisted on continuing his set as he admitted he was ‘annoyed’ to himself.

He said, ‘My voice is going huge so I’m really sorry, it’s the worst place to make it happen. However, we are going to play two more songs, even though I can’t sing very well.

“I’m really sorry before we move on because it’s a terrible pain in the butt. You’ve all come out and I’m really sorry my voice is breaking in.”

He then sang Hold Me While You Wait while playing guitar, with fans singing along to the lyrics at times when he had to temporarily stop singing.

Between songs, the supporting crowd went wild as they cheered him on, while he paused momentarily and could be heard coughing as he struggled with his Gilles de la Tourette.

He then said: ‘Glastonbury, I’m really sorry, I’m a bit annoyed with myself here’, prompting the crowd to cheer him on and chant his name in a sweet moment.

Lewis then ended the show with his smash hit Someone You Love, with the crowd supporting him as he struggled to sing.

On stage, Lewis also confirmed he would be taking another break away from the spotlight, telling fans they wouldn’t be seeing him ‘much’ for the rest of the year.

He said, “I feel like I’ll be taking another little break for the next couple of weeks, you probably won’t be seeing much of me for the rest of the year.”

Of his three-week break, Lewis said: ‘I took three weeks off because I’ve been non-stop at the beginning of the year and I wanted a break for my head and my mental health. do Glastonbury, because it’s so unbelievable.’

“I was terrified, but you really put my mind at ease, I’m really sorry,” he continued.

His return to the podium comes after Lewis canceled all work commitments earlier this month to ‘rest and recuperate’ for Glastonbury.

He shared how he needed time to focus on his health leading up to the show, which meant missing a performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball.

In an Instagram statement, he said, “Hello everyone, hope you are well. This is a very difficult message, and it pains me a lot to have to type it.

“But I am very sorry to say that from now on I have to cancel all commitments until I play at Glastonbury on June 24.

“It’s been such an incredible time leading up to this new album, and seeing all the support from everyone is more than I could have ever dreamed of.”

Lewis recently opened up about his mental health issues and Tourette’s syndrome in the new Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now.
