Mother of teenager with Tourette’s says Lewis Capaldi's Glastonbury performance was powerful
The mother of a teenager with Tourette’s has said that Lewis Capaldi’s Glastonbury performance left her in tears because of the “amazingly powerful” impact it will have on raising awareness for the condition.
The pair watched Lewis' performance on TV together from their home in Farnborough, Hampshire, with Ms Hummersone adding that Harry gradually started smiling from seeking solace in the fact that he and Lewis both had similar tics. “It was so violent and also he couldn’t feed himself… and sometimes he would hit his head on the door frame and knock himself out. That’s what Tourette’s is like to live with.”
She said that Capaldi also did a “brilliant” job of highlighting that Tourette’s does not necessarily mean that you will have swearing as a tic. “Most of the time, it isn’t about swearing”, she added. “I think the condition is still so misunderstood and people think you only tic when stressed. Ms Craven, a 42-year-old teacher, told PA: “[James] sat there this morning while I was doing the ironing and wrote this letter without any prompting or anything like that. I was really proud of him because it absolutely came from his heart.”
“He was singing along, the whole living room was singing along with him”, she said. Also, everybody watching held their breath a little bit, I think, because James knows what having tics is like and when attention is drawn to them, it just makes them worse.”
