Sam Smith has sadly announced that their scheduled concert is canceled after the performer and their team fell ill last week.
The 30-year-old Grammy-winning musician was expected to perform at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on Tuesday (April 25) for the next date of their Gloria tour but was struck down by a mystery virus.
Taking to their Instagram Story, the 'Unholy' singer informed their 14.7 million followers: "Sailors, 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 of 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," they continued. "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."
In the next slide, Smith shared a picture of themselves donning a flowing white robe while posing on a white block in front of a gold background, with the details about the new date for the show.
The 'Stay With Me' star reassured their fans that all tickets would be valid for the changed date of Saturday, May 27.
The cancellation comes just days after Smith sadly pulled out of performing at the OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, on Saturday (April 22).
According to the Daily Mail, the hitmaker explained how they and their team were feeling "really unwell" and would be rescheduling the concert for next month.
"Sailors, I'm so sorry to say but we have to reschedule the Glasgow show to 25th May 2023," Smith wrote. "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," Smith concluded.
The Brit has hit headlines over the last few months due to their live performances of their number one single 'Unholy' - which tells the story of someone in an adulterous relationship.
Smith has recreated the scandalous subject matter of the song by repeatedly taking to the stage in striking outfits that have a "demonic" flare - as seen in their controversial Grammy Award performance.
Recently, footage from their highly-anticipated Gloria tour was shared online - in which the 'Stay With Me' singer sported an all-black costume with red and gold detailing.
Several public figures were outraged by the look, including Andrew Tate, 36, who misgendered the non-binary star as he tweeted: "This is Sam Smith. Why does he need to literally worship the devil as openly and abhorrently as possible to sing his songs?"
British TV personality Piers Morgan also joined the discourse by criticizing Smith and their performance after they performed at London's 02 Arena.
During the performance, the 'La La La' hitmaker took their corset off to appear topless onstage with black tape covering their nipples - something the 58-year-old discussed during his segment on Talk TV.
"My point about Sam Smith is it's just an orgy, of in my view, a narcissistic self-indulgent deliberately shocking stuff," Morgan said, via Express. "He looks terrible! Why would you do this?"
Many fans took to their social media to defend the singer following the infamous TV personality's remarks.
