Gwyneth Paltrow has sent a message of support to Sam Fender after the singer announced he is taking a break from the spotlight to work on his mental health.
North Shields rocker and already Geordie legend Sam has had a whirlwind few years in the music industry, since winning the Brit Critics' Choice award in early 2019. Since then Sam and his band have worked their socks off, earning two number 1 albums and touring both across the world, as well as performing at countless festivals including Glastonbury, where Sam made his debut this year after pulling out three years earlier due to illness.
Just last week, Sam, 28, caused hysteria when tickets went on sale for his huge gig at Newcastle's St James' Park next year, with a second date being added before general sale had even started.
