Sam Smith cancels second Gloria tour date as singer continues to battle virus
Sam Smith has been forced to cancel their second show in three days after pulling the plug on tonight’s Birmingham gig due to ill health.
The Unholy singer, 30, cancelled a date in Glasgow at the weekend after being struck down by a virus.
Now, Smith – who identifies as gender non-binary and uses they/them pronouns – has released a statement on social media advising that they are still under the weather, so have decided to move their Birmingham show to next month.
“Sailors,” they began their statement, “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.
“All previous tickets are still valid for the new date. For any more information, go to my website.”
They signed off writing: “All my love, Sam x”
It’s a similar statement to the one issued days before for the show in Scotland.
The gig, which was set to take place at Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro, will now take on Thursday, May 25.
