Glastonbury viewers hailed Lewis Capaldi as 'brave' after he struggled with ticks throughout his set on Saturday night (June 24).
The Scottish musician took to the iconic Pyramid Stage to perform a string of hits, including Bruises and Forget Me. But the 26-year-old, from Glasgow, battled through losing his voice and a great deal of ticks after recently being diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome.
