TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — British pop star Sam Smith is set to perform in Taiwan in October as a part of his Asia tour.
The "I'm Not the Only One" singer announced on his social media account that his GLORIA tour is set to take place in eight Asian cities, beginning in Bangkok on Oct. 3. Taipei will be the third stop after Hong Kong.
Smith released a new album, "Gloria," in January 2023. A month later, he won the Grammy Awards' Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with his single "Unholy," which was a collaboration with Los Angeles-based German musician Kim Petras.
"Unholy" has been played over 100 million times on YouTube. The new album also includes saucy tracks, such as "I'm Not Here to Make Friends" and "Gimme."
The artist shared on "The Graham Norton Show" that his music video shoot of the hit "I'm Not Here to Make Friends" made headlines as the scantily clad dancers horrified elderly day-trippers at Ashridge House.
Smith's concert is slated to take place at Taipei Arena on Oct. 9.
