SAM Smith ended their show in Manchester after four songs, just one night before they are due to appear at the Hydro.
We previously reported the Unholy singer had been forced to reschedule their gig at the Finnieston venue from April 22 to May 25 after they became "really unwell" with a virus.
However, Sam, who has been performing across Europe with the Gloria tour, had to end their show in Manchester last night after feeling something was "really wrong" with their voice during the fourth song.

They said they tried to get their voice back "in gear" but were unable to.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Sam wrote: "Dearest sailors,
"I don't know what to say honestly.
"I fought off a virus a few weeks ago and since then have travelled across Europe and had such incredible shows.
"Today in soundcheck I felt fine and was so excited to give Manchester an amazing show tonight, with a special surprise at the end.
"During my third song, I noticed something was 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't.
"I am honestly heartbroken I couldn't finish the show tonight for you all.
"I love you all. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry."
So far, no update has been given about tonight's Glasgow show.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
