But when he attended a pre-season football match on Sunday, he flashed a thumbs up while watching Charlton Athletic vs Aberdeen. 

The Someone You Loved songster kept things casual in a black jacket and navy trousers for the London outing. 

Following his performance at Glastonbury, Lewis said he was going to take a break after he struggled to sing on the Pyramid stage due to his tics.

Lewis told fans after the huge gig: “First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards. It really does mean the world.

“The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future."

The singer, who was diagnosed with the syndrome last year, continued: "I used to be able to enjoy every second of show like his and I’d hoped three weeks away would sort me out.]

"But the truth is I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come."

Lewis, who is being treated with Botox injections to freeze muscles to try to control the tics characteristic of Tourette’s, added: “I know I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to take some time out when others can't.

"I'd like to thank my amazing family, friends, team, medical professionals and all of you who've been so supportive every step of the way through the good times and even more so during this past year when I've needed it more than ever.

"I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve.

"Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'II be back as soon as I possibly can."
