During a well-received performance at the festival on Saturday, the musician nonetheless visibly experienced ‘ticks’ as a result of his Tourettes syndrome – with which he was diagnosed last year – and later in the set began to lose his voice.In a statement posted to social media yesterday, he told fans: “The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future”.“I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I’d hoped three weeks away would sort me out”, he continued.
