Next month, the talented singer Sam Smith is gearing up for an exciting performance at the Proms. Fans have been eagerly anticipating this event, and Sam has teased a little surprise for the audience. However, one thing is for sure - they will not be wearing a thong on stage.
In a recent interview with Nick Grimshaw and Annie Macmanus on BBC Sounds' Sidetracked, Sam shared their excitement for their only UK appearance of 2024 at the BBC Proms. They also revealed their plans to perform their debut album, In The Lonely Hour, which was a huge hit when it was released.
But the real excitement lies in the surprise that Sam has in store for their fans in the second half of the show. "In the first half, I'm going to celebrate ten years of 'In The Lonely Hour'...and then the second half is a little surprise. I'm so excited," they shared.
When asked about the possibility of getting "their clothes off" on stage, Sam joked that everyone could relax as they have no intention of doing so. "I love the proms, it's great. And everyone needs to relax, I'm not going to get my clothes off!" they playfully exclaimed.
The conversation then turned to the previous hysteria surrounding the announcement of Sam's performance at the Proms. Nick mentioned the tabloid headlines speculating that Sam would wear a dress and "ruin" the event. To this, Sam joked, "Can you imagine if I turned up in a thong at the proms?"
Annie added that it would be fun to see Sam in "bondage gear," which Nick agreed with. However, Sam quickly put a stop to these suggestions, stating that it wouldn't be something they would wear on stage. "Absolutely not. There's a time and a place," they clarified.
Sam also shared their excitement for the upcoming performance, saying, "Yeah, it's going to be beautiful. All my family are coming down. And it's an opportunity for me to just remind people of my love of music, especially British music - and where I've come from. I want to show people a little bit of where I come from musically."
While Sam is known for their bold and unique fashion choices, they reassured fans that their outfit for the Proms will be appropriate for the event. This comes after their controversial performance at the Grammys last year, which was accused of being "satanic" due to their devilish attire.
But according to Radio 3 director Sam Jackson, fans can expect a more fitting performance for the Proms. "I think what you'll see is a performance that is entirely appropriate for the Proms and entirely appropriate for the audience in attendance," they stated. "This is very much a Prom - it's not Sam Smith at the Royal Albert Hall. The look and feel will be entirely appropriate for that festival."
Fans can catch Sam's performance at the BBC Proms on August 2nd, which will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. It's sure to be a fantastic night filled with beautiful music and a few surprises from the talented artist. And who knows, maybe Sam will even save the thong for another occasion.
