Lewis Capaldi releases new music amid speculation of Glastonbury set

Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi has released new music amid speculation he may be one of the secret acts to perform at Glastonbury.

The 28-year-old last performed at Glastonbury in 2023 before taking a break citing anxiety and announced on New Year鈥檚 Eve the same year that he planned to take a hiatus to focus on his health.

He has released a new song titled Survive and alongside a video montage, with the song playing, he wrote on Instagram: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a while鈥︹.

Last month, he performed on stage for the first time in two years at a charity gig in Edinburgh to raise funds for suicide prevention.

Capaldi, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has Tourette鈥檚 Syndrome and released his first album in 2019, with a second album following in 2023.

On New Year鈥檚 Eve in 2023, Capaldi said in a lengthy Instagram post that he would 鈥渃ontinue taking some time to carry on looking after myself鈥 following the announcement he would take a break from touring after struggling with his voice during his Glastonbury Festival set earlier in the year.

Capaldi explored how the pressures of fame have affected him mentally and physically in the Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I鈥檓 Feeling Now which was released in April 2023.

His critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent emerged as the biggest-selling UK album of both 2019 and 2020.

His hit songs include 2019鈥檚 Someone You Loved, 2020鈥檚 Before You Go and 2022鈥檚 Forget Me.

This year鈥檚 Glastonbury line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, with a Friday slot on the Pyramid Stage at 4.55pm speculated as one Capaldi could perform in, but this has not been confirmed.

Also among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set at Glastonbury is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth studio album, Virgin, has just been released.
