Lewis Capaldi has said he will take a break from touring for the "foreseeable future", days after he struggled to finish his Glastonbury set.

The Scottish singer, who has Tourette's Syndrome, asked fans to help him by singing along at the festival.

Glastonbury was the 26-year-old's first live performance since taking a previous three-week break.

In a statement on Tuesday, he said he was "still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's".

He had 26 dates around the world in the calendar between now and October.

They included a show at Chepstow Racecourse in south Wales this weekend, as well as concerts in Manchester, Belfast, Edinburgh and at the Reading and Leeds festival.
