Lewis Capaldi has unfortunately had to back out of headlining Leeds Festival 2023.
The star, 26, told fans earlier this summer that he’s decided to take a break from music. Citing the impact Tourette’s has had on his health, Lewis said: “I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.”
Acknowledging his decision, the team behind Leeds Festival and sister event Reading Festival, posted on Twitter: "We’re gutted that Lewis Capaldi won’t be performing at R&L this year, but health comes first and we wish him a speedy recovery. We’re working hard to book a replacement, stay tuned."
