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.”
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
