Fans and supporters can now breathe a sigh of relief as Sam Smith’s rapid healing brings hope for his return to the stage. On May 24, Sam encountered an unfortunate incident during his concert at the Manchester AO Arena, which led him to discontinue the performance after only four songs. As a result, he decided to cancel the final two dates of their Gloria tour in the UK.

Following his abrupt exit from the Manchester show, Sam Smith shared a feelings statement stating, “I don’t know what to say honestly.” The artist went on to explain that he had recently battled a virus and despite his efforts, including travelling across Europe and delivering incredible shows, his condition ultimately led to the unexpected turn of events.

“During my third song, I noticed something wrong with my voice. I prayed it was just my voice waking up for the show but into the fourth song I could feel something was really wrong. I came off stage and have tried everything to get my voice back in gear but it won’. I am honestly heartbroken I couldn’t finish the show tonight for you all,” Sam explained.

Sam Smith’s Gloria tour is set to resume with a series of scheduled stops in Switzerland, Finland, France, Latvia, and more, starting from July 5th.
