Sam Smith is admitting that he is no stranger to heartbreak.
The 22-year-old "Stay With Me" singer opened up to Teen Vogue Magazine about falling in love and often breaking down and crying during his concerts. Smith revealed that parts of his debut album was inspired by a broken heart.
"I stand onstage and I wanna cry for the entire thing because people know my business. You all know me," Smith said. "You can read as many interviews as you want, but if you put on my record, I'm telling you, that is me."
He told the magazine, "I fell in love with someone last year, and he didn't love me back. I deleted him off of WhatsApp, and it felt like I'd just broken up with him. On the record you can hear heartbreak, and there's a beauty in that I will always treasure."
Smith, who is openly gay, said his sexuality has not affected his music and success. The singer admitted that he looks forward to settling down one day with a husband and children, adding that he would love to open a coffee shop in Italy.
"With the whole gay thing, I've had zero reaction, which says something beautiful about our generation and how things are getting a little bit better," he shared. "The idea of having a house, a kid, a husband, and a dog...I love that. I also really want to open a coffee and flower shop one day, probably in Italy."
