It was recently reported that the Scottish star could be set to make a comeback in 2025 after allegedly discussing his next album with friends, though nothing was definitely confirmed. 

In an interview, Lewis’s friend Yungblud, 27, has told how the singer is sounding great’, before confirming that he is working on ‘new music’.

Yungblud, who’s been firm friends with the Someone You Loved hitmaker prior to them both finding fame, also told how Lewis is getting his mental health back on track after he previously told how his break was to get his ‘mental and physical health in order’.

He told The Sun: ‘I have heard his new music and it sounds great. He is getting his mental health right.’

YungBlud, who real name Dominic Harrison, continued: ‘I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together. 

‘We experienced it at the same time and he is perhaps the only friend who knows what I am going through, in the same way I know what he’s going through.’

The singer, who recently released new single Hello Heaven, Hello, added that he’s ‘really close’ with Lewis and his pal gave him advice about performing a ballad on his new album.

During his performance at Glastonbury in 2023, Lewis was coming out of a three-week mental health hiatus he had taken to ‘rest and recover’.

Returning to the stage, the singer admitted he had been ‘s**t scared’ to perform as he opened up about his mental health struggles.

The singer confirmed he would be taking another break away from the spotlight after the show.

In the middle of his set, Lewis confessed that he was struggling with his Tourette’s as he said his voice had ‘packed it in’, after he had been coughing throughout the show.

Tourette’s is a neurological condition characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, and can cause speech and voice abnormalities.

Despite his struggles, Lewis insisted on continuing with his set and his supportive fans rallied around him, with the show coming to an emotional close as the crowds sang Someone You Love for him.

The heartwarming moment saw Lewis walk across the Pyramid Stage and sing short bursts of the track, while the kind crowds sang at the top of their voices to support the star. 

After his performance, Lewis took to his social media to say: ‘The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write.

‘I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I’d hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out.’

He continued: ‘But the truth is I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s and 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. 

‘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’ll be back as soon as I possibly can.’

Six months later on New Year’s Eve, Lewis updated fans, sharing: ‘I’m really happy to say I’ve noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June.’

‘For now I’m going to continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself, maybe writing some music and taking a moment to reflect on some of the most incredible years of my life.

‘I want to make absolutely sure I’m 100% before getting back out there again properly for more shows and doing what I love more than anything! 

‘These songs mean the world to me and I’d be gutted if I’d not been able to share them. Hope this tides you all over until we can get in a room and sing them together some day very soon!”

Lewis also thanked fans for their support, saying their reaction has been ‘nothing I’ve ever experienced and has made me more excited than ever to return to doing what I love at some point in the not too distant future’.
