Lewis Capaldi was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome



Capaldi shared the news during an Instagram Live, explaining that the condition is something he deals with “all the time.”

“The worst thing is when I’m excited I get it, when I’m stressed I get it, when I’m happy I get it. It happens all the time,” he said. “Some days it’s more painful than others and some days it’s less painful. It feels a lot worse than it is. Sometimes it’s quite uncomfortable…but it’s okay and come.”

He said after noticing he was shaking in a 2018 interview, his diagnosis “makes so much sense.”

“I do a lot of shoulder twitching. And you see under every TikTok and everything, people say, ‘Why is he twitching? “, Which is good. Curiosity is good. I get it,” Capaldi said.

He continued: “It’s a new thing, I haven’t really learned much about it – I’m learning. I have Botox on my shoulder to keep it from moving. It worked a bit .”

Earlier this year, Billie Eilish revealed she also has Tourette’s, telling David Letterman the condition can be “exhausting”.
