Overview

  • Capaldi posted a reflective video on BetterHelp in early July, recounting how he panicked during his 2023 Glastonbury performance and felt trapped in “autopilot mode.”
  • He attributed his ability to release the single “Survive” in mid-June and get back on stage to two years of intensive online therapy.
  • At the end of June, Capaldi made a surprise appearance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, performing at the same venue where he halted his set in 2023.
  • To mark each of the 734 days he spent off stage, he pledged 734,000 hours of free online counseling through BetterHelp, offering 1,000 hours for every missed day.
  • By openly discussing his Tourette’s syndrome and mental health journey, Capaldi is using his platform to challenge stigma and encourage others to seek help.
