Singer Sam Smith reassured his fans about his behaviour just minutes into his performance at the Proms. The BBC Proms at the historic Royal Albert Hall opened its doors to the pop star for a night of many hits and celebrating Smith's career so far. Broadcast on BBC Two on Saturday evening (August 24), the singer performed their biggest hits including I’m Not the Only One and Stay With Me, along with some special covers.
Shortly after performing Good Thing, Sam addressed the audience to welcome them and introduce their orchestra and various performers. But it was here they made a cheeky quip to the audience in case they were expecting their usual high profile antics on stage. Wearing a smart double-breasted black suit, he quipped: "Before I introduce you to some incredibly important people, I just wanna say to everyone here that don't worry - I'm not going to get my bum out! As the audience laughed, Sam continued: "The clothes are staying on, OK? The clothes are staying on.
This is going to be an appropriate show - even I know there's a time and a place." The opening joke to the audience was warmly greeted by their fans and audience. The 32-year-old singer's recent live shows have seen them dance in a corset and shake their bare bottom, with an infamous performance of Unholy at the 2023 Brit Awards attracted more than 100 complaints to Ofcom.
Fans loved the joke, with one writing online "That was brilliant!!" and another agreed and shared "Loving Sam Smith at The Proms". One.
