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.”
Madonna revealed that she saw her late mother "on the other side" while she was in a medically induced coma in 2023.
In a conversation on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast on Monday, the Queen of Pop explained that she was treated in intensive care and remained in a coma for two days after doctors discovered a "serious bacterial infection" that developed after a mild fever.
Thinking back to the health scare, Madonna shared that she experienced a vision of her mother, also named Madonna Ciccone, who lost her life to breast cancer in December 1963.
"I was almost there on the other side, and I had a conscious moment," she said. "My mother appeared to me, and she said, 'Do you want to come with me?' And I said, 'No.'"
She added that her assistant was present in the room and heard her say the word, "No."
"And then, when I did eventually wake up, I realised that the 'no' was about me needing to forgive and make good with people that I still held grudges against," the 67-year-old explained.
One of the long-standing conflicts she chose to release was her troubled relationship with her brother Christopher Ciccone.
The artist passed away from pancreatic cancer at 63 in October 2024.
"For my brother, I didn't speak to him for, you know, for years, years, and years. And it was him being ill (and) reaching out to me and saying, 'I need your help.' And me having that moment like, 'Am I going to help my enemy?' You know, that's how it felt. And I just did," the Ray of Light singer said. "And I ended up (helping) and I felt so relieved. And it was such a load off my back, such a weight that was removed, baggage that I could put down to finally be able to be in a room with him and holding his hand, even if he was dying and saying, 'I love you and I forgive you.' That was really important."
