Sam Smith: 'I rely on my fans to bring my songs to life'

'Stay With Me' superstar Sam Smith has revealed that seeing his fans singing his lyrics back to him while he's standing on stage is the most incredible thing and it breathes life into his music.

Speaking to ITN News, the hitmaker explained that while he wrote songs that feature on 'In The Lonely Hour' about unrequited love he felt towards someone, he doesn't feel that way any more and now relies on his fans' energy to bring the tracks back to life:

"I told him before the album came out and it gave me a lot of closure actually. It made the whole; it just put a book-end at the end of the record. It was amazing. I'm so happy I did it."

"What I wrote the songs about don't affect me anymore and that's what I rely on. I literally rely on the fans singing it back to me... the songs almost come alive again. It makes me emotional. Every moment when they're singing back I'm thinking, 'I can't believe this is happening to me!'"
