Lewis Capaldi shares update on new music: “I don’t know about an album”
Lewis Capaldi has spoken about his plans to release new music during a recent appearance on Good Morning America (GMA) – see what he had to say below.
Yesterday (July 7), Capaldi appeared on GMA, where he performed a number of songs including his recent comeback single ‘Survive’. In between performances, Capaldi spoke to the early morning show’s hosts about his emotional return at Glastonbury, what he was up to during his two-year hiatus and of course, new music.
Less than two weeks ago, Capaldi made his surprise return with the powerful single ‘Survive’ on June 27. Later that same day, he made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury, performing a short set at the iconic Pyramid Stage – an effort to complete the 2023 set that he was unable to get through due to aggressive tics from Tourette’s.
Speaking to the GMA hosts, Capaldi said when asked about plans for a new album: “Oh, I don’t know about an album… I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but I’m doing an EP at some point this year, and then an album will follow maybe next year.”
He’s also confirmed that he’ll be dropping a new single “later this summer”, though a concrete date has yet to be announced.
On his return at Glastonbury, Capaldi shared: It was good, it was really fun. There were lots of people there, it was nerve-wrecking. I did lots of nervous pees, I got it all out and I feel elated.” He quipped: “I’m really happy to be back doing what I love, and what they’re paying me to do.”
Since returning at Worthy Farm late last month, Capaldi has announced a UK and Ireland tour for this September, including two huge shows at London’s The O2 – see the full list of dates below.

Fans lauded his emotional return, with one writing: “This is strength, resilience, and perseverance personified. Two years ago, I watched live coverage as Lewis Capaldi was floored by Tourettes. He takes two years to rest, recover, and heal, showing those struggling with mental health issues that there is always a way back.”
