Lewis Capaldi addresses viral video from his concert

Lewis Capaldi addressed a viral video of him performing at one of his gigs on TikTok.

The singer recently made headlines after publicly announcing he had been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, a condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics. He is currently on tour performing his music, and recently a video of him performing went viral on TikTok.

Capaldi took to the app to address the video, which shows him displaying tics while performing, with a message for people in the comments who were concerned about him.

In the video, Capaldi said: "Hello, it's Lewis here. This video here I've seen doing the rounds a little bit on TikTok and I see a lot of people in the comments concerned because I'm twitching quite a lot... and sort of looking a bit uncomfortable.

"I've got Tourette's, so I'm just twitching quite a bit here, it's not an issue in the slightest, I'm absolutely fine. It's just this happens when I get like tired or nervous or excited or whatever, so it just gets more intense.

"This is at the end of an hour and half gig, and I'm singing in front of 15,000 people, so I'm tired, and I'm also very excited because the whole arena is singing my songs back to me. But yeah I'm fine, and thanks to everyone who came to the gig that night, it was incredible."

To end the video, he joked: "Get a ticket if you haven't. Come see me tic live, come see me twitch live, in person."
