“I do a lot of shoulder contractions , explained Lewis Capaldi in a live Instagram in 2022. The worst part is when I'm excited I have it, when I'm stressed I have it, when I'm happy I have it. It happens all the time. Some days it hurts more than others and some days it hurts less. I have Tourette, I have always had it apparently. Sometimes it's quite uncomfortable but it comes and goes. »

To conclude, and not without humor, the singer also added: “Take a ticket, come see me, come see my tics on stage! »
