Lewis Capaldi has got a supportive fanbase.

Lewis Capaldi's followers received appreciation for supporting the singer when he looked to experience some Tourette-related tics while on stage.

In preparation for the release of his new album Shattered By Desire to be Heavenly Sent, Capaldi is presently making his way around Europe as part of his global tour, but in his most recent performance, he seemed to be halted mid-song.

A concertgoer saw Capaldi playing his classic song "Someone You Loved" on camera as he moved his face away from the microphone and coughed while exhibiting what seemed to be a sequence of tics.

The vocalist encouraged the audience to take it away after singing a few more verses and listened as they continued to asing along.

Caption on the video reads: "Fans finishing off the song for Lewis as he was strugg[ling] with his Tourettes."

After video from Capaldi's most recent performance was posted online, TikTok users applauded the singer's supporters, with one saying: "Humans humaning can be so healing to watch sometimes."

Another wrote: "Omg!!! I didn’t have clue he had Tourettes, I love him & everyone else loves him!!!! They all just carried on, how beautiful!!!!!!! Love love love."

"This is so beautiful. The support from the crowd means everything. So calming. AMAZING," added a third.

Lewis Capaldi's diagnosis with Tourette's symptoms

A few months after being diagnosed with Tourettes, Capaldi revealed his condition for the first time on social media last year.

Capaldi said about his experiences: "I raise my eyebrows quite a lot. I do this shoulder thing. I take these deep breaths every now and then.

"I thought I was dying because I am a hypochondriac, so I thought I had some degenerative disease. But I don't, so good news on that front."
