The Scottish singer, 26, previously cancelled three weeks of shows in the run-up to the festival to rest and recover after a “full-on” few months.
Glastonbury festivalgoers helped a struggling Lewis Capaldi through the end of his set by singing for him – after he lost his voice on stage.
The Scottish singer, who had previously cancelled three weeks of shows to rest and recover, apologised as he prepared to belt out his hit song Someone You Loved on the festival’s Pyramid Stage on Saturday night.
The 26-year-old star admitted he was having voice issues in the run-up to the ballad, telling the crowd: “I’m going to be honest everybody, but I’m starting to lose my voice up here, but we’re going to keep going and we’re going to go until the end.
“I just need you all to sing with me as loud as you can if that’s OK?”
He continued to apologise to the crowd, and the Eavis family behind the Worthy Farm festival, for his voice starting to go, only for fans to reply with chants of “Oh, Lewis Capaldi”.
The star, who recently opened up about his battles with anxiety and Tourette’s syndrome, then attempted to launch into Someone You Loved – a powerful vocal-heavy piano ballad – to end his set.
But as he struggled to hit the notes, the Glastonbury crowd roused once again and helped him over the line by singing back to him as he watched on, clearly emotional.
