Looking back over his Glastonbury experience in 2023, he admitted: "This should be like, a really happy moment, and it isn't. Advertisement "I'm like, achieving my dream here. If there was a film about being a singer, and starting as a kid, and they'd be like, Oh, I'd love to be a singer one day and perform in front people, I've done it. "I've got to the end of the film and it's not how I thought it was going to be. "And all these people are singing at me and I feel 1,000 miles away there, and I watch it back and actually feel sad. "Second song in, I was probably just thinking, this has to be it, like... I can't keep doing this to myself. Advertisement "As far as I was concerned, it was like, I'm done. I didn't take a break to just focus on getting better. "I took a break because I needed a break and to sort of release the pressure valve a little bit." Lewis Capaldi makes emotional Glastonbury return two years after heartbreaking set Within the montage, Lewis added pictures and home-filmed clips of himself performing as a youngster, full of hopes and dreams. He captioned the tear-jerking montage: "Been mad looking back at it all. Thank you so much for still being here." Advertisement Fans commented: "You have no idea how good it is to see you back! We've b****y missed you Lewis!" A second praised: "I feel like you left us as a boy and have returned as a man. I didn't think you could get any better, but you've gained this very endearing mature charisma and I AM HERE FOR IT!!" A third agreed: "Lewis Capaldi for the nation's sweetheart." "Aaaaaand I'm crying again. We were never going anywhere Lewis, I would have waited 20 years. We told you we'd be right where you left us when you were ready to come back and we were. We love you and want you to succeed, whatever that looks like for you," penned a fourth. Advertisement "We've missed you so much. You're incredible, talented, brave and a beautiful human being," commended another fan. As he took to the stage on June 27, 2025, Lewis was met with chants of his name from 100,000 fans and experienced a very different sense of emotions. He introduced his new song Survive to the Glastonbury crowd and told them: "My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f****** back baby!" His victorious set came exactly two years after he broke down on the same stage at Worthy Farm. Advertisement Lewis had ended his 2023 performance early due to repeated tics caused by Tourettes.

Capaldi rounded off his set with a rendition of Someone You Loved. Holding back tears, he said: "I've got one more song to play before I leave. I think we all know what song it is. "I've really missed doing this over the last two years. It's been really difficult to think this wouldn't ever happen again. "Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, it means the f****** world. "I struggled to sing this song two years ago for a different reason. Tonight, I think I'll struggle to sing it for another one. This time it's a good one.

Love Island's Laura Anderson slammed after she backs Meg in clash with new bombshell
The feud between the girls has divided the villa TAKING SIDES Love Island's Laura Anderson slammed after she backs Meg in clash with new bombshell Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island alumni Laura Anderson has come under fire from fans for backing Megan Moore amid her fallout with bombshell Malisha Jordan. Scots-born Laura, who starred in Love Island in 2018, has thrown her weight behind Meg for branding Malisha "disrespectful". Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Laura Anderson has been slammed after commenting on Love Island's ongoing feud Credit: Instagram 5 Meg Moore is furious with Malisha Jordan Credit: ITV 5 The bombshell has been chatting to Meg's 'man' Dejon Noel Williams Credit: ITV Meg lost her cool with Malisha after she took Dejon Noel Williams on a date before asking if he'd like to go for a chat in The Hideaway. Malisha, meanwhile, hit back and told Meg - who is coupled up with fitness coach Dejon - to "grow up". The bombshell called her "an idiot" and pointed out that Meg had only known Dejon for a matter of days. But despite the majority of the population siding with Malisha, with some fans even threatening to complain to Ofcom about Meg's reaction, Laura is backing the other horse. Commenting on Love Island's official Instagram account, 36-year-old Laura wrote: "#TeamMegs." Slamming mum-of-one Laura, one viewer of the ITV2 show replied: "No sis sorry check ur girl." Another added: "Wrong team darling." A third wrote: "I can't believe you." And someone else remarked: "That says a lot about you." But another Love Island fan told they "100 per cent" agreed with her. Love Island fans slam Meg for 'trying to be iconic' as she furiously confronts rival and villa descends into chaos Meg and Malisha's row has been escalating over the past few days. It began when Malisha entered the villa on Friday night and took Dejon on a date - all under the watchful eyes of Meg. She and the rest of the Love Island OG girls were watching on a big screen in the villa garden. At the time, Meg even branded Malisha a "b****", despite not having met her in person yet. A feud then exploded between the girls on Sunday night after Malisha had returned to the villa with Dejon and asked if he'd like to chat in The Hideaway. The row left Malisha in tears and, as a result, has caused a divide in the villa. Alima Gagigo was quick to comfort her before confronting Meg and the other girls about their treatment of Malisha. Storming outside, she urged them all to be kind. Shakira Khan and Toni Laites have also thrown their support behind the newbie, insisting that Malisha's actions were not "disrespectful".
