Sam Smith has split from his boyfriend.

Introducing his track 'Good Thing', which is about a break-up, he said: "This song is very special for me today, as I've actually had to do a very similar thing with someone I've been seeing."

Despite his heartache, Sam is still hopeful of finding love again "soon".

Speaking after the Show at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, he said: "Hopefully I will find someone soon and when I do I think it will be a bit more difficult to sing songs because I will want to sing happy songs. Right now when I'm on stage I feel like it is good for me, it is like therapy every night.

"The music comforts me."

The 22-year-old singer later thanked fans for their support at the "beautiful" show.

He tweeted: "Had a really sad day today, so thank you Toronto for making me feel so much better.

"Sometimes you just need to lay in bed with a glass of red wine and a football T-shirt and listen to Joni Mitchell.

"It's been a sad day. Beautiful show, but sad day x.(sic)"
