Singer Lewis Capaldi is opening up about his health after being diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome.“I’ve always had it apparently,” the “Before You Go” musician, 25, said during a Monday, September 5, Instagram Live session. “So, I do the shoulder twitch quite a lot and you see underneath every TikTok people are like, ‘Why is he twitching?’ Which is fine.

Curiosity is fine. I get it.”The Scotland native added: “It’s a new thing, I haven’t really learned much about it — I’m learning.

I’ve got Botox on my shoulder to stop it moving. It worked for a bit, but the worst thing about it is when I’m excited I get it, when I’m stressed I get it, when I’m happy I get it.

It happens all the time.”Capaldi — who rose to fame in 2019 with the release of his single “Someone You Loved”— admitted that he felt like it made “so much sense” when his doctors initially told him that he has Tourette’s.According to the Mayo Clinic, Tourette’s syndrome is a disorder that involves repetitive movements or unwanted sounds, known as tics, that can’t be easily controlled.Some days it’s more painful than others and some days it’s less painful.
