He has returned to the spotlight after taking a career hiatus in 2023 amid his battle with Tourette's Syndrome. Lewis kicked off the tour last September and it has continued into 2026, with performances in US cities.

As he checked with his team to see if the issues had been resolved, Lewis joked: 'This feels like… erectile dysfunction in a way.'
