Haven't spoken in three days: Sam Smith

Los Angeles: Grammy-winning singer Sam Smith, who was forced to cancel his Australian tour due to vocal exhaustion, has reached out to his fans through Instagram.

The singer said he was somewhere in Australia and away from technology but decided to let his followers know about his condition.

"Just to let all my beautiful fans know, I'm ok. I am insanely relaxed and am somewhere in the middle of Australia with no phone, no laptop and I haven't spoken a word in three days. Trying my absolute best to be back on my feet and singing for next week," Smith wrote and also posted a picture.

The 22-year-old British singer was instructed by doctors to rest his voice after suffering a small hemorrhage on his vocal cords.

"So amazing to have this time to turn off, but it does make me realise how much I love what I do, and how much I miss you all when I'm not on stage. I hope you are all happy and healthy wherever you are. I'm gonna go back to my black and white movies and pretend I'm Judy Garland for a few more days," he wrote.
