The musician announced that he is part of the community after receiving his diagnosis, and has since mentioned it on a number of occasions.
"I have Tourette's. I've always had it, apparently. I do a shoulder twitch quite a lot. It's a new thing. I haven't really learned much about it. I'm learning. I've got botox on my shoulders to stop it moving."
