Tickets for the concert – which was originally scheduled for March 7 and has been pushed back to the end of June due to the 26-year-old’s health – will be refunded. There is no other alternate date, Gadget ABC Entertainment announces as the organizing company.
This means that the main show at Openair St. Gallen, which was co-organized by Gadget ABC, on Friday night. According to a statement, Berlin-based choreographer Peter Fox will take over for Capaldi at 10 p.m. on the big stage.
Meanwhile, German band Electric Callboy Electronicore has been upgraded from the Younger Stars stage to the Sitter stage and will end Friday night on the main stage. There is currently a star stage slot which OASG wants to close as soon as possible.
The Glastonbury crowd continued to sing to him
Only at the beginning of June Capaldi canceled all upcoming concerts Glastonbury Festival to be fit for its grand performance at the prestigious outdoor event. And while performing on Saturday night in England, it became clear that the three-week rest period was not enough to keep the disease under control.
The live recording of his mega-hit “Someone You Loved” (above in the video in this article), as Capaldi’s convulsions prevent him from singing and tens of thousands of audience members continued to sing along to the Brit, went viral and affected people all over the world.

Open dealing with Turrett
“I’m still learning to deal with my Tourette’s influences,” the musician continues in his statement. “It became clear on Saturday that I would need more time to take control of my mental and physical health.” After all, he had wanted to be able to compose music for a long time.
And the statement concludes: “It was one of the most difficult decisions in my life; Because playing for you night after night is all I ever dreamed of. I will be back as soon as possible.”
Concertgoers had noticed the tics in his performances earlier, and corresponding videos quickly went viral on social media. Capaldi reassured worried fans by being forthright about Tourette’s disease. These effects and their effect on the singer are also discussed in the Netflix documentary “Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now,” which was released in early April.
