Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi discovered his fans really had his back earlier this week during a live performance in Frankfurt.
The 26-year-old is performing his hit song, The one you love, when he appeared he began to twitch and then stopped singing.
Capaldi recently announced that he has Tourette syndrome, a neurological condition that, according to Tourette Canada, causes people to experience sudden, unpredictable movements or sounds and “sounds or voices” called tics.
When he couldn’t get the words out, some of the 15,000 or so fans watching jumped to fill in the lyrics.
In a video on TikTok posted after the 90-minute concert, Capaldi said that the twitches occur in his shoulders when he is nervous, tired or excited, but not in pain.
“I’m absolutely fine,” he said.
“I’m tired – and I’m also very happy that this whole arena is singing my songs again.”
He thanked those who jumped at the words, even jokingly, saying: “Get a ticket if you haven’t already … come see me twitch, live and live.”
Tourette’s diagnosis
About one in 100 people in Canada live with Tourette syndrome, according to Tourette Canada. The condition starts in childhood and there is no cure.
Capaldi went public about his Tourette’s in an Instagram Live post last September because he said he “didn’t want people to think I took cocaine or something.”
He said the diagnosis earlier in the year made him “feel terrible” because he could see his shoulder twitching during an interview in 2018.
In 2018, American singer Billie Eilish said she also lived with Tourette’s after being diagnosed as a child. She told David Letterman that most people wouldn’t notice her tics, they might find it “tiring.”
