Lewis Capaldi fans helped Lewis Capaldi sing his hit song Someone You Loved in Frankfurt this week when the star experienced Tourette’s symptoms during the show.
The 26-year-old Scottish musician announced last year that he suffers from a neurological disorder characterized by a combination of involuntary sounds and movements known as tics.
In the now-viral clip, Lewis can be seen turning away from the microphone as he struggles with uncontrolled head and shoulder shaking.
However, the public was quick to show their support for the star and continued to sing the song en masse.
Lewis then seemed to regain his composure as he continued with the show.

One fan shared the clip on TikTok and wrote: “We support you!!” and captioned the video: “Fans finish song for Lewis as he struggles with his Tourette’s.”
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by a combination of involuntary sounds and movements called tics.
The disorder usually begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be vocal, like B. swearing, or physical, like. B. Head shaking.
The cause of Tourette’s syndrome is unknown. However, it is thought to be related to problems with a part of the brain known as the basal ganglia, which helps regulate body movements.
This condition affects an estimated 78 million people worldwide and there is currently no cure, only treatments that control symptoms.
Recently, the Brit Award winner tested a new watch-like device for typing relief and found that the device suppressed movement in his head and shoulders.
The Neupulse device, developed at the University of Nottingham, delivers low-level electrical stimulation currents to nerves in the wrist, affecting the brain networks involved in producing tics.
The device turned out to be a game changer for the musician – he immediately felt calm when the device was activated.

It comes after the ‘Hold Me While You Wait’ hitmaker said it was ‘a real relief’ to learn he has Tourette’s and that he is now embracing his new role as a ‘billboard’ for the disease.
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show last year, he said: “I have Gilles de la Tourette. I didn’t want it to be something big. I’m shaking a lot.
“My left shoulder goes up and I do it with my head. Now I’m Tourette’s billboard. I accept it, I gladly accept it.
“That was seven or eight months ago [that I was diagnosed]. I thought I had a degenerative disease. Hearing that I actually have Gilles de la Tourette was, as you can imagine, quite a relief. It is good. Everything works.
“I thought I was the only one who was nervous. It was a relief and at least nice to know that I had a community. I’m quite an anxious person, I really start to think too much when something is wrong – it was a burden on me.”
Lewis admitted his condition “can really affect my performance”, but his tics come with “ebs and flows” – and he is less aware of Tourette’s effects when he takes care of himself with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
He told host Jonathan Ross, 61, on the ITV chat show: “It definitely gets worse on stage sometimes. Sometimes it can really affect my performance.
It ebbs and flows. When I’m taking care of myself, working out, going to the gym – which is the same thing by the way – when I’m not drinking too much or walking in the park and breathing in nice summer air. i hate commitment I’m an easygoing boy.’
