Sam Smith has been forced to cancel their Glasgow gig just hours before they were due on stage.
The singer, 30, had been due to perform at the OVO Hydro Arena on Saturday night but has pulled out after being struck down with a mystery virus.
It means that the tens of thousands of fans who were due to see them perform live tonight have been left bitterly disappointed.
Sam took to their Instagram page on Friday night to deliver the devastating news, writing a heartfelt apology on their page.
The pop star explained that they and their team were feeling “really unwell” and needed to reschedule.
Sam wrote on Instagram: “Sailors, I'm so sorry to say but we have to reschedule the Glasgow show to 25th May 2023.
“Myself and a lot of my team have been hit with a virus, that's made us really unwell.
“I want to give you the best version of Gloria the Tour and at the moment that's not possible.
“It was also really important to me that we had another date to move this to straight away.
“We will celebrate Gloria together!! All previous tickets are still valid for the new date. For any more information go to my website www.samsmithworld.com.
“All my love, Sam.”
Following the success of their fourth studio album Lay Me Down, the star took to the stage and kicked off their Gloria tour earlier this month.
However, Sam has sparked a heated conversation online once again following another 'controversial' performance.
While Sam's fans who were in the audience seem to love the star's tour aesthetics and themes, critics have taken aim - accusing them of giving 'satanic' and 'sexualised' performances.
Sam - who uses they/them pronouns - dresses in a series of eye-catching looks for their latest tour, with red devil horns, sheer veils, wire crowns, nipple tassels and fishnets all making appearances throughout the performances.
The Unholy hitmaker's tour also includes the use of religious imagery and clips from Sam's show circulating online have prompted many of the singer's critics to slam the star and accuse them of seeking attention via their 'sexualised' performances.
