Lewis Capaldi looks cheerful and gives a thumbs up as he attends a pre-season football game – after canceling the tour due to his Tourette’s

Lewis Capaldi looked in high spirits as he attended a pre-season football game on Sunday.

The Scottish singer, 26, gave his thumbs up as he watched Charlton Athletic vs Aberdeen.

The Someone You Love hitmaker is currently taking time out for his mental health after canceling his tour dates due to his Tourette’s.

Lewis dressed casually in a white T-shirt and dark trousers for the low-key London outing.

Aberdeen rounded off their preparations for the season with a 3–2 win against Charlton in a thrilling encounter at the Valley.

Lewis has been spotted all over London in recent days, having canceled his forthcoming tour due to his struggle with his Gilles de la Tourette.

Last month, Lewis announced that all of the upcoming 24 shows for his Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent tour had been canceled just days after he struggled to wrap up his headline set at Glastonbury.

He is currently taking a break from touring as he focuses on his mental and physical health amid his ongoing struggle with his Tourette’s symptoms.

He took to social media at the time to say it was “obvious” that he needed to “spend a lot more time getting my mental and physical health in order,” calling the decision “the hardest of my life.”

He shared, “Hello everyone. First of all I want to thank Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the great messages afterwards. It really means everything,’ he began.

“The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m sorry to let you know that I’ll be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.

‘I used to enjoy every second of these kinds of shows and I had hoped that 3 weeks away would help me.

“But the truth is I’m still learning to adapt to the impact of my Gilles de la Tourette and on Saturday it became clear that I need to spend a lot more time getting my mental and physical health in order so that I can keep doing everything I like. for a long time.

“I know I am incredibly lucky to be able to take some time off when others can’t and I want to thank my wonderful family, friends, team, medical professionals and all of you who have been so supportive every step of the way. of the way through the good times and even more during the past year when I’ve needed it more than ever.

“I’m so incredibly sorry for everyone who was planning on coming to a show before the end of the year, but I have to feel good to perform at the level you all deserve.

“Playing for you every night is all I’ve ever dreamed of, so this was the hardest decision of my life. I’ll be back as soon as possible. All my love always, Lewis.’

Tourette’s experts told MailOnline it was not possible to know when Lewis would reappear because each individual has different treatment needs.

They also praised his “courage” in “openly tackling his condition” and branded it “an inspiration” to many other patients – but warned that his recovery cannot be rushed.

Lewis had already taken three weeks off for his performance at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, but recently admitted it wasn’t enough and that he was ‘still learning to adapt to the impact of my Tourette’.

At Glastonbury, he got emotional when he started to lose his voice during the performance, prompting him to apologize to the audience – who then helped him finish his songs in heartwarming images that quickly went viral.
