Capaldi has limited his public appearances since his last set at Glastonbury in 2023.
The Scot suffered from tics and struggled to finish his hit Somebody You Loved, and soon after announced a break to get his “physical and mental health in order” and “adjust to the impact” of his Tourette’s diagnosis.
But the 28-year-old made a return to the festival on Friday night, drawing a big crowd despite not having been on the initial lineup.
He said: “Glastonbury, it’s so good to be back.
“I’m not going to say much up here today because if I did I might start crying.”
And fans watching on TV spotted a nod to the star’s favourite football team Celtic, as cameras showed spare guitar plectrums featuring the four-leaf clover seen on the Hoops’ badge.
The crowd in attendance reacted positively to the set, singing along in moments Capaldi rested his voice and chanting his name.
The West Lothian star ended the set with Somebody You Loved, the song he didn’t manage to complete in his previous appearance.
He said: “I couldn’t sing this song two years ago.
“I might struggle to finish it today for different reasons, good reasons.”
And celebrities and fans alike rushed to the singer’s Instagram post to congratulate him on his comeback.
Scotland national team captain Andy Robertson commented: “Class mate.”
Fellow musical star Sam Fender said: “Return of the king.”
Other football stars like Jack Grealish, Alan Shearer and Ben Chilwell, and fellow musicians Olly Murs and Jade Thirlwall also commented their congratulations.
