Lewis Capaldi has Tourette’s and started ticing during him Glastonbury set on Saturday.
The mother of a teenager with Tourette’s has said that Lewis Capaldi’s Glastonbury performance left her in tears because of the “amazingly powerful” impact it will have on raising awareness for the condition.
“Watching Lewis yesterday, in that moment, I think he did more for Tourette’s than any charity or education on the topic in all the times I’ve known about Tourette’s. I was in tears,” the 50-year-old who works in the criminal investigation department of the police force told the PA news agency. Harry was diagnosed with Tourette’s when he was five and a half and Ms Hummersone said that her son’s tics were so bad at one point that she had to quit the job she had at the time for 12 years to look after him.“It was so violent and also he couldn’t feed himself… and sometimes he would hit his head on the door frame and knock himself out.Ms Hummersone said she was particularly struck by how much the crowd supported Capaldi.
