Sam Smith cancels shows as they're struck down with illness

Sam Smith has been struck down by a virus that has affected their entire team.

The 'Unholy' singer has now announced tonight's date in Birmingham has been postponed. The singer was also forced to reschedule last weekend's concert in Glasgow.

Posting on social media, they said: "Sailors, I am so sorry to let you know that my team and I are still really not well, so unfortunately we need to reschedule our Birmingham show to the 27th May 2023.

"It’s so important to me that we give you the very best version of Gloria. I don’t want you to experience it at anything less. Thank you so much for understanding, I know how excited everyone is to see the show, and I feel the same about seeing all of you."

Original tickets will still be valid for the rescheduled date. Meanwhile, the Glasgow date is expected to go ahead on May 25.

They added: "Myself and a lot of my team have been hit with a virus that’s made us really unwell. It was... really important to me that we had another date to move this to straight away."

Sam broke down in tears on the opening night of their Gloria world tour. The singer was in Sheffield kicking off their huge UK trek across the country.

The 30-year-old put on a hugely energetic performance, belting out their smash hits and chart-toppers, right from the beginning of their career to the present day. The show was divided into three acts (in reference to Sam's love of musical theatre). These are 'Love', 'Beauty' and 'Sex' and the audience is taken on a real journey.

Sam also asked the audience to imagine they were on a night out in a gay club. And they donned an extravagant pink ruffled tulle gown to add to the feel.
