Sam Smith cancels Glasgow gig due to 'vocal cord injury' after doctor's orders

Sam Smith has cancelled their Glasgow gig just hours before it was set to begin with the singer having been preparing to take to the stage of the OVO Hydro later tonight (May 25).

Taking to social media, the singer and songwriter apologised to fans following issues with their voice.

Sam's Manchester gig ended last night (May 24) suddenly after only three songs. The 31-year-old later took to social media to reveal something was 'really wrong' with their voice.

This marks the second time the Unholy singer has postponed their Glasgow tour as it was already rearranged after April's concert was cancelled hours before they were set to sing.

A statement from Sam Smith and their team, also uploaded to Sam's Instagram stories reads: "Due to vocal issues during last night’s Manchester performance, regrettably we will be cancelling the rescheduled Birmingham and Glasgow Sam Smith shows."

Refunds will be available at point of purchase for all three dates; Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.

A spokesperson added: “Doctors have advised due to a vocal cord injury, Sam must have complete vocal rest.

"Sam is heartbroken to have had to cancel these shows but they have been told by doctors that if they keep singing, they will do permanent damage to their voice. If they take some rest, they will be able to perform again.”
