Lewis Capaldi might have to quit music to look after himself if he continues to suffer from intense Tourette syndrome.
Lewis Capaldi’s Tourette syndrome has been at the forefront of his fame, and fans do not mind. The Scottish native even gets all the support he needs from his devotees.
In February, while performing on stage, he began to twitch as he experienced an episode. Meanwhile, Capaldi was in the middle of his “Someone You Loved” song. Following the interference, his audience jumped to his rescue by singing the lyrics of his famous song.
Capaldi was diagnosed seven months after the syndrome became a thing. He realized the regular twitches and thought it was a degenerative disease.
Apart from support from fans, he has garnered support from a community of people who experience the syndrome. At the same time, he has been creating enlightenment about the disorder.
Singer Billie Eilish admitted she suffers the same thing but has a way of suppressing it. However, one downside to dealing with Tourette syndrome is that it could get intense.
Lewis Capaldi is already picturing ahead when things might get worse, and his desire then, will be to quit music.

How Soon Will Lewis Capaldi Quit Music?
The answer is “not sure.” However, fans can expect that Lewis Capaldi will quit the music industry when it comes to that. Getting brutally honest in an interview with the Times of London, he said:
“If it gets to a point where I’m doing irreparable damage to myself, I’ll quit. I hate hyperbole, but it is a very real possibility that I will have to pack music in.”
The “Someone You Loved” star confessed that the tics come when he is gripped by anxiety. Surprisingly, doing what he loves most— music makes it occur often. For now, the 26-year-old believes it is worth the stress but may not take it in the coming years.
But if Lewis Capaldi ever quits music, he may have a career in comedy— or not. This is not something the singer has expressed, but his fans have grown to love him for his humor.
Whether on stage, during interviews, or via his social media platforms, he cracks up the audience by saying or doing something hilarious.
