Lewis Capaldi Donates 734,000 Hours of Free Therapy to Those in Need: ‘This Is My Way of Giving Back’

The amount is in reference to the 734 days the "Survive" singer took to focus on his mental health following a difficult 2023 Glastonbury Festival set.

Lewis Capaldi is giving back to his fans in a big way. On Monday (July 7) the “Someone You Loved” singer announced an initiative with the online therapy company BetterHelp to provide 734,000 hours of free virtual therapy to those in need.

“Therapy is the reason why I am able to be a musician again,” the singer says in a video announcing his effort. “In partnership with BetterHealth and to reflect my experience of therapy and the importance I feel it has in my life and other people’s lives, we’re giving away 734,000 free hours of therapy.” The number represents 1,000 hours for every day since Capaldi was last on stage.

This story was first published on Billboard U.S.
