Sam Smith releases statement to 'devastated' fans after cancelling concert four songs in

Sam Smith has apologised to fans after suddenly cancelling their concert part-way through. The popstar, 31, brought their "Gloria the Tour" to Manchester's AO Arena last night (May 24), with thousands of fans descending upon the venue to belt out the singer's hits.

But the show came to a sudden end when Sam disappeared from the stage after performing just four songs. Fans were left wondering if there had been a "powercut" after the lights temporarily dimmed before the audience was informed that the concert had been cut short due to "vocal issues" and asked to leave.

Following the incident, Sam released a statement to "devastated" fans, apologising to those at the show and explaining why it was cancelled. On their Instagram story, the Unholy singer wrote: "Dearest sailors, I don't know what to say honestly."
