Lewis Capaldi took to the stage today (June 24) for his set on the Pyramid Stage Glastonbury Festival but at one point, struggled with his voice.Recently, Capaldi cancelled all work commitments until his performance at Glastonbury in order to “rest and recover”.The singer released a statement on June 5 explaining that the last few months have been a lot for him and that it had taken a toll on him “both mentally and physically”.“This is a really difficult message and one that hurts me a lot to have to type, but I’m really sorry to say that I’m going to have to cancel all commitments from now until I play Glastonbury on June 24th,” Capaldi wrote.“It’s been such an incredible time leading into this new album, and seeing all of the support from everyone has been beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of,” he added. “That said, the last few months have been full on both mentally and physically, I haven’t been home properly since Christmas and at the moment I’m struggling to get to grips with it all.”He continued: “I need to take a moment to rest and recover, to be at my best and ready for Glastonbury and all of the other incredible shows coming up so that I’m able to continue doing what I love for a long time to come.

I need to take these three weeks to be Lewis from Glasgow for a bit, spend some time with my family and friends and do normal life things that are an important part of me feeling better.

I hope everyone understands.”During the set, Capaldi struggled with his voice several times. “My voice is going big time,” he said mid-set.
