Sam Smith, an artist’s struggle
- Sam Smith has wanted to share with all his followers the hardest moments of his adolescence. His sexual condition has earned the successful artist more than one attack.
- “When I moved to London someone punched me in the back of the head on my way home from work. It was definitely a homophobic attack. I was talking on the phone, quite loud, and I was wearing pink headphones, so it was pretty obvious that I was gay ” he confessed to The Sun newspaper.
- The singer, who suffered insults and bejamations, is proud of who he is and hopes that his revelations will help eradicate these behaviors among young people who live marked by being different.
