Lewis Capaldi cancels Electric Picnic show as he bows out of touring for 'forseeable future'

Lewis Capaldi has confirmed he will not tour in the forseeable future due to health concerns.

The 'Someone You Loved' singer was diagnosed with Tourettes earlier this year. He previously bowed out of a gig at the Olympia Theatre in order to deal with his health.

The star confirmed on social media he would not tour again this year following his Glastonbury performance. He was scheduled as the headline act for Saturday at this year's Electric Picnic.

Lewis wrote: "I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come."
