<\/p>\n

There\u2019s “a very real possibility” that Lewis Capaldi<\/a> “will have to pack music in.”<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The Scottish singer-songwriter opened up to The Times<\/em><\/a> this past weekend about how his ability to make music is directly affected by the challenges that his Tourette syndrome presents to his mental health.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Promoting his upcoming documentary How I\u2019m Feeling Now, <\/em>set for release on Netflix this week, the \u201cSomeone You Loved\u201d singer revealed how his Tourette tics are \u201cgetting quite bad on stage now\u201d and he\u2019s \u201cfucked\u201d if he can\u2019t figure out a way to \u201cget on top of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easier when I play guitar,\u201d he adds. \u201cBut I hate playing guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Capaldi is also worried about fans thinking that his tics are a sign of drug abuse. He told The Sun <\/em>magazine, \u201cPeople have asked me directly, \u2018Are you on drugs, is it cocaine?\u2019 and I saw a few tweets knocking around after shows with people saying \u2018He\u2019s on drugs\u2019 \u2014 and that wasn\u2019t the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The award-winning musician has expressed<\/a> in the past how \u201cextremely hesitant\u201d he was of letting the world see a more vulnerable side of him in the Netflix documentary, but he recently admitted<\/a> that filming for the Netflix documentary only served to worsen his anxiety and imposter syndrome.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Capaldi recalls<\/a> a moment at The BRIT Awards where he did not think that people would want to take pictures with him. \u201cI got out of the car and a load of kids are hanging out with cameras and I suddenly start telling myself, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s not for me, they don\u2019t want my picture, they\u2019re waiting for Harry Styles<\/a>,\u2019\u201d he confesses.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Times <\/em>interview, Capaldi discloses that making music is the only thing that triggers his anxiety and imposter syndrome. \u201cOtherwise I can be fine for months at a time,\u201d Capaldi tells the British newspaper. \u201cRight now, the trade-off is worth it. But if it gets to a point where I\u2019m doing irreparable damage to myself, I\u2019ll quit.\u201d<\/p>\n
