How Old Is Lewis Capaldi?
Born on October 7, 1996, in Glasgow, Scotland, Lewis Capaldi is currently 28 years old (as of 2025). He moved to East Whitburn in West Lothian at age four, where he grew up in a quiet, small-town environment.
Reflecting on his childhood, Capaldi once said:
“We moved to a place called Whitburn, which is near Bathgate. It was a very nice place to grow up… I spent a lot of time bored, pottering around, and that might have contributed to me picking up an instrument.”
His passion for music began in primary school when a teacher, Miss Weatherston, introduced him to guitar classes. Little did he know that those early lessons would lead to a career selling out arenas and topping global charts.
Lewis Capaldi’s Tourette Syndrome Diagnosis
In September 2022, Capaldi publicly revealed his Tourette syndrome diagnosis, a neurological condition characterized by involuntary tics. His struggles became particularly visible during live performances, where his tics would sometimes interfere with his singing.
During a 2023 Glastonbury set, his condition worsened, leading him to pause his tour indefinitely. He later shared in an emotional Instagram statement:
“I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this… but the truth is I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s.”
Despite the challenges, Capaldi has remained candid about his journey, emphasizing that while there’s no cure, managing anxiety and stress helps. His Netflix documentary, How I’m Feeling Now, further highlighted his struggles and resilience.
