Sam Smith enjoys socially distanced stroll on Hampstead Heath

Sam Smith was spotted enjoying a socially distanced stroll on Hampstead Heath on Friday.

The 27-year-old singer appeared in high spirits as they caught some rays in north London, making the most of Easter weekend in spite of the difficult lockdown circumstances

The Stay With Me hitmaker, who prefers to use the pronoun ‘they’, ensured they adhered to government guidelines, keeping moving during their brisk, hour-long outdoor exercise time.

Sam was sipping on a coffee as they strolled along, listening to music.

Clad in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, the Oscar-winning musician appeared to be deep in thought.

Sam no doubt has a lot on their mind since the release of their upcoming album has been pushed back due to the unforseen circumstances.

Much to the excitement of fans, they appear to have hinted at a possible collaboration with Demi Lovato on Thursday evening.

Captioned ‘S + D 4EVA’, the duo were seen hugging in the Polaroid picture, sparking fan speculation they had recorded a duet.

One asked, ‘Is there a collab on the way?’, while another shared, ‘The iconic duet the world is waiting for’. 

The star recently took to their Instagram account to up date fans on their decision to make some major changes to their upcoming album given the current global situation.

Sam penned: ‘To my dear fans, firstly I want to send love and strength to everyone who has been affected by this situation, I hope you are all alright during this incredibly weird, upsetting and unprecendented time.

‘I have done a lot of thinking the past few weeks and feel that the title of my album and imminent release doesn’t feel right, so I have come to the decision to continue working on the album and make some important changes and additions.

‘I will be renaming my album and pushing back the release date – both of which are to be confirmed at this time.

Don’t worry though, there will be an album this year, I promise! But until then I am still going to bring out some new music over the next few months, which I’m incredibly excited about.’

Sam concluded: ‘Thank you for always being by my side and for your understanding and patience. I always want to do right be you. Always. Sam X.’
