LONDON—Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi said he is taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future to 'adjust to the impact' of having Tourette syndrome, days after he struggled during a Glastonbury music festival performance. The 26-year-old had taken three weeks off ahead of his set on Saturday at the festival held in southwest England, where the likes of Elton John, Guns n' Roses and Lana Del Rey were among the billing. But after performing several songs, Capaldi told the crowd he was starting to lose his voice.
