AceShowbiz - Lewis Capaldi has put out a new extended version of "Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent". The "Forget Me" hitmaker - who has taken a hiatus to focus on his mental health following his Glastonbury performance in June 2023 - announced a new edition of the album, which was first released back in May.

"After some back-and-forth about whether or not it was the right thing to do, I've decided it would be a shame for these extra five songs, which are so incredibly special to me, to sit on my hard drive, never to see the light of day," he wrote in a lengthy update to fans on X (formerly Twitter).

"With that, I'm absolutely over the moon to announce that 'Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent (Extended Edition)' will be yours to listen to ... on New Year's Day!"

While he is still taking time "to carry on looking after 'himself," the updated collection should tide fans over. He continued, "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 percent 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!"

Elsewhere in the emotional post, the 27-year-old singer confirmed he's been "working with some incredible professionals" to help him "learn about and cope better" with his Tourette's and anxiety. He added, "It's mind blowing to see the songs on this album still resonating with so many of you despite the fact I've not been out there promoting it or touring it, it means the world to me."
