Lewis Capaldi's dad Mark detailed his heartbreak as he broke down in tears when his son stopped his 2020 Wembley gig mid-performance.
The highly anticipated documentary How I'm Feeling Now hits streaming services next week, as the flick gives an intimate and personal look into Lewis' life. The film gives fans a raw and honest insight into Lewis' creative process when making his second album, as well as the lead up to his Tourette's diagnosis.
In one scene, Lewis' parents Mark and Carole were discussing their son's shoulder twitch prior to his diagnosis and encouraged him to get it checked out. However, both parents note that the turning point for the Someone You Loved singer was towards the end of his 2020 arena tour, specifically his gig at London's Wembley Arena.
Off screen, Lewis' mum narrated: "The whole way through the arena tour you could just see him. Every time he played a gig it was a struggle and then it came to a head at Wembley."
It cuts to Lewis performing his hit song Fade in front of thousands of screaming fans at Wembley, where the singer could be seen visibly struggling with his twitch. As the singer attempts to sing the lyrics, he raises his hands up and says: "Sorry I'm just gonna stop for two seconds, is that okay?"
Lewis can be seen walking and twitching his shoulder on stage, looking visibly frustrated at having to halt his performance. Speaking off camera, Lewis' dad said: "He f***ing stopped singing. So I bolted, ran down the stairs and the crowds a bit quieter. I'm shouting 'Luigi come on! Keep going!'"
"I'm breaking my heart," Mark added.
"This twitch became out of control," Lewis opened up. "It was awful. It was absolutely horrific."
He continued: "I started to get in my head about these pressures and thinking 'Oh f***, there's skin in the game now', rather than me just singing my little songs other people are depending on me."
The documentary also reveals Lewis halted the writing and recording of his second album and the Netflix programme for four months as a result of the pressures on his mental health.
Lewis Capaldi's Netflix documentary How I'm Feeling Now will be available to stream on Netflix on April 5, 2023.
