Sam Smith is recently recovering from a successful vocal cord surgery. His Australian tour is cancelled considering that the singer was not allowed to talk for 3 weeks by his Doctors. Even though he had a surgery, Smith is still lucky to win several awards in the recent Billboard Music Awards 2015.
Grammy Award winner Sam Smith had a successful vocal cord surgery in Boston. He was operated by a surgeon named Dr. Steven Zeitels due to vocal cord bleeding. The said surgeon also performed the same procedure on some well-known artists like Adele, Lionel Richie and Steven Tyler.
Because of the performed operation on Sam, he is not allowed to speak for at least three weeks. "No speaking for three weeks now. So if you see me on the streets sorry if you think I'm a d--khead and can't say hello," Sam posted this on his Facebook page. Due to his vocal cord hemorrhage, he also needed to cancel his Australian tour.
Unluckily, Sam Smith was not present at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last Sunday to collect his awards. He only appeared on screen with a videotaped message - but of course he did not speak. He wrote his message for everybody who was there. "Can't wait to get this surgery out of the way so I can sing my a-- off for you again," said Smith.
Why does he keep on winning glorious awards? Here's what Sam Smith had said: "My songs are primarily about personal feelings and experiences that I've had. Of course love is an important part of that, I enjoy being in love. Unfortunately there are also periods of disappointment; I'm an expert in heartache. But these feelings evoke the perfect ideas for lyrics, that's always been the case." There you go, he absolutely sings from his heart.
Meanwhile, Sam Smith also celebrated his 23rd birthday. He posted on his Instagram account a photo where he posed holding a wand. Yes, a wand, and not just an ordinary one, but an authentic Harry Potter merchandise! He said it was a gift from her sisters, and that it was his best birthday gift ever.
