Lewis Capaldi in talks for Netflix comeback documentary two years after troubling Glastonbury performance
It has been two years since he retreated from the spotlight.
The Someone You Loved singer was on stage at Glastonbury in 2023 when it became clear his anxiety and Tourette syndrome were taking its toll and he became emotional.
Just days later, he issued a statement cancelling all his forthcoming concerts because he needed 'to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'.
But he is now making tentative steps back into the industry, and has met execs at Netflix to discuss options for a new project.
A music insider said: 'Lewis is in a much better place than he was in 2023 and is at a point now where he is thinking about returning to music.
'Everything is going to be different this time, so that he isn't overloaded and his mental health doesn't suffer.
'But he really wants his fans to be able to understand what he has been going through and where he has been for the last two years.
'That's why another special makes sense.
'There are discussions about what form it could take, but there will naturally be a lot of honest and vulnerable moments. It's not been an easy time.
'His last documentary with Netflix, How I'm Feeling Now, was really intimate and personal and became a massive success.
'Naturally, they are interested in working with him again and they've been having talks about doing just that.'
In March, his pal Yungblud confirmed Lewis had been back in the studio working on songs.
Yungblud said: 'I have heard his new music and it sounds great. He is getting his mental health right.
'I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together.'
He made a tentative return to the stage last month when Tom Walker performed a gig in Edinburgh in aid of Campaign Against Living Miserably.
Lewis played a surprise six-song set, with punters told not to take photos or videos.
To date, he has scored five No1 singles, while both of his albums have topped the charts.
And I'm sure there are many more to come.

Carl Smith, editor of the official charts tells BBC Newsbeat it's a "sign of how popular K-pop is right now".Golden is performed in the film by girl band Huntr/x, consisting of Rumi, Mira and face off against demon boy band the Saja Boys - whose single Your Idol climbed to number 10 in this week's says both songs are "amazing pop songs with great melodies" and the film also allows fans to "visualise their new favourite band".

Reality TV couple take major step in their relationship amid ongoing feud with TV star ex – and she won't be happy
A REALITY TV couple have made a major step in their relationship as their romance continues to heat up. Love Island star Abi Moores and her MAFS hunk boyfriend Nathan Campbell have been dating since February of this year but now they look set to make things even more official with a huge gesture. 5 5 5 The Sun can exclusively reveal the pair will be moving in together in a plush pad in West London. Their decision to take things up a gear comes amid the ongoing jibes from Nathan's MAFS ex Lacey which exploded at this year's National Reality TV Awards. A source told The Sun: "Things have been going really well for Abi and Nathan since they started dating earlier this year and so moving in together felt like a natural step. "They are already expecting to have some reaction from Nathan's ex Lacey and her constant jibes on social media but they don't care what she thinks. "Abi and Nathan know they are the real deal and can't wait to be living together under the same roof. "Having their own luxury pad together means they can block out all of the noise and get on with their lives." The couple look set to make the big move this weekend with plans to share updates on their new home across their social media channels. News of their big move comes after they had an awkward run-in with Nathan's MAFS ex Lacey at the NRTAs. Onlookers were left stunned when Lacey appeared to launch into a huge rant about Nathan in front of their co-stars in which she continually insisted she was "living in his head rent-free". One eyewitness told The Sun: "It was clear there was no love lost between them and even Lacey's co-stars were stunned as she went on a sweary rant about her ex." MAFS UK's Nathan reveals first date with Love Island star Abi Moores almost ended in disaster as they go public with romance The Sun previously told how Nathan and Abi were kept apart from Lacey inside the ceremony after being seated on different tables. As Nathan cosied up to his girlfriend, organisers were forced to separate him from Lacey by seating him on a different table. A source told The Sun: "Lacey and Nathan had to be kept away from each other at the National Reality TV Awards. "It was chaos as he was supposed to be on the MAFS table but she wouldn't have sat there if he was there. "He was all over his girlfriend Abi, so they had to be sat at a separate table." Nathan made Abi his girlfriend earlier this year with a lavish proposal as well as presenting her with a stunning ring - in a scene that would not look out of place for an official engagement. 5 5
