What has Lewis Capaldi said about the documentary?

He released a statement ahead of the release of the trailer this afternoon on Twitter. In it, he said: "When the opportunity to make a documentary came up for me I was extremely hesitant.

"I think because I seem quite open about a lot of things whether it be in interviews, on stage, or social media people assume they know a lot about me and my life but in actual fact I tend to keep a lot of things to myself as a matter of preference. Now that this film, two and a half years in the making, is finally coming out, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wildly nervous.

"I feel like there's a lot of things in it I haven't spoken about before and in truth, the whole film became way more intimate than I'd ever imagined so it feels like a particularly vulnerable position to be in. The trailer for the film comes out tomorrow, Thursday the 16th of March at 3pm UK time and as nervous as I am I'm really looking forward to sharing it with the world.

"The film is called 'How I'm Feeling Now' and it's named after a song I wrote which will be released at midnight on the 17th of March. It's the last song I wrote for my upcoming album and as a tune that all about something I've never really written about in my music before which is my mental health.

"Obviously I completely recognise how lucky I am to have the life I do and I know there are people in much worse position than I am out there but as much as the last 5 years have been the best of my life, I'd be lying if I said it all hasn't taken its toll mentally and honestly, there have been some extremely low points and that's what this song is about.

"I know the last few years have been and continue to be difficult for everyone so hopefully you relate to the tune in some way and it might be nice to hear there's someone else in a similar boat as you, I know it would for me. Seriously been one of the most amazing and extremely peculiar experiences of my life however I doubt I'll be rushing to make another one anytime soon."
