OHMYGOSSIP — Tristan Thompson is “living his best live” with Khloé Kardashian.
The basketball star feels lucky to have the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star – with whom he shares daughter True – in his life.
In a video posted online by her sister Kourtney Kardashian, Tristan can be heard saying: “Living my best life with this beautiful woman.”
Tristan and Khloe went through a rough patch when the sportsman was seen seemingly kissing another woman just days before Khloe gave birth to True.
A source said: “Tristan is still in Los Angeles and has really stepped up. He keeps showing a lot of commitment to Khloé. He wants them to be a happy family. They are still doing therapy. Tristan initially resisted therapy but has realised how important it is for Khloé. He is finally realising how much he hurt Khloé. He wants Khloé to be happy with him, so he is really trying to be the best person that he can be.”
And Khloe’s mother Kris Jenner and her relatives were not happy about the television personality choosing to take Tristan back.
Kris’ friend Lisa Stanley said: “If Kris and the family had it their way, she probably would be leaving. They’re not okay with this. This guy not only cheated on her it was on video and the world saw it. And she was humiliated. But she’s choosing to stay. If all they had it their way, Tristan would just be the baby daddy. And be very much involved. Apparently he’s a good father.”
And sister Kim has urged Khloe to “do what makes her happy”.
Kim added: “It was definitely new territory for us when you have a new baby coming into the world. I think ultimately, we always want her to be happy, but it gets all clouded when there’s a baby, you know? Her motherly instincts kicked in and she has to do what makes her happy. So we’ll support that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tributes have flooded in for Chas Hodges, who has died at the age of 74.
The ‘Ain’t No Pleasing You’ singer – who is of Chas and Dave fame – passed away on Saturday morning (22.09.18) after a battle with oesophageal cancer and Twitter has been full of stars young and old paying tribute to the legendary singer.
Sir Lenny Henry wrote on Twitter: “What a shame. When they were on Tiswas they were always kind, respectful and played live. RIP Chas.”
Whilst comedian Paddy McGuinness added: “RIP Chas Hodges. Chas and Dave were always on the telly when I was a nipper, they’re cockney through and through but we also loved them in the North. I always wanted to see them live. Sad loss to the entertainment industry. #chasanddave (sic)”
Jo Whiley, radio presenter, wrote on the social media site: “Oh no. This is the saddest news. Chas was a lovely lovely gentleman & our Maida Vale Xmas show was one of my absolute favourite shows. Much love to his family, close friends & Dave (sic)”
There was also a poignant tribute to Chas from Tottenham Hotspur football club, as Chas was a huge fan of the team and the duo recorded a number of songs for the club when they reached the FA Cup Final.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristen Bell is preparing her children to cope with death.
The ‘Frozen’ star’s daughters may be just three and five-years-old but the actress is already giving them the “tools to understand that certain things happen”.
She said: “I think giving them the tools to understand that certain things happen at a young age is important. We’re not morbid about it. We don’t talk about death, but she asks, we tell her. We’re prepared as a family.
“We have all sort of made peace with it, and we’ve talked to our kids about it. They know that Papa’s gonna die … As a parent, in my life, what I really want to give to my kids is the science of it and the critical thinking of it.”
And the 38-year-old star – who has Delta and Lincoln with her her husband Dax Shepard – was particularly impressed with Lincoln’s response.
Speaking on WTF with Marc Maron, she added: “She said, ‘Do I need to bring my gardening stuff? I have a shovel. Where do we do it? The side of the house?’ She was like, ‘Well, one of our own is going, I guess we all participate.’ Her frontal lobe was firing about how to handle this and I thought that was so wonderful for a 5-year-old.”
Meanwhile, Kristen previously revealed her kids like to ask “annoying questions”.
She shared: “They ask a ton of questions, and not annoying questions but questions that are leading them to sort of greater truth. Like this afternoon my husband was listening to a podcast about Watergate about how the Nixon presidency fell and my five-year-old was like, ‘Why did that woman want to call the newspaper?’ And he was trying to answer and he’s like, ‘I can’t unravel why the Nixon presidency tumbled,’ and [Lincoln] was like, ‘Well, try.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer topped the leaderboard as ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ returned to screens on Saturday (22.09.18).
The former Pussycat Dolls star and the Steps singer each scored an impressive 29 out of a possible 40. Ashley danced a Viennese Waltz with Pasha Kovalev to Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’ whilst Faye and her partner Giovanni Pernice impressed with a Cha Cha Cha to Sigala and Paloma Faith’s ‘Lullaby’.
Head judge Shirley Ballas said it was “clean” and very musical whilst Darcey Bussell labelled it as the “perfect way to finish the night”.
Elsewhere, Danny John Jules and Amy Dowden – who opened the show with a Foxtrot to the Top Cat Theme – impressed with their pizzazz and showmanship, earning them a solid mark of 27. Dr Ranj Singh and Janette Manrara’s Cha Cha Cha to ‘How Will I Know’ by Whitney Houston and Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell’s Jive to ‘Take On Me’ also secured them joint third place on the leaderboard.
Fresh from securing double World Champion, paralympian Lauren Steadman pulled off a stunning waltz with AJ Pritchard to ‘I’m Kissing You’ and they even managed to impress tough judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of he leaderboard was Susannah Constantine and Anton Du Beke, who danced the Samba to ‘Tico Tico’ by Carmen Miranda. Whilst she managed a score of just 12, Shirley felt there was promise there with Susannah whilst Bruno Tonioli said it was more of a “car crash Miranda” than Carmen Miranda.
Whilst no one will exit the show during this week, the scores from Saturday will be carried over to next week, where one celebrity will be booted from the competition.
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ continues on Saturday September 29 on BBC One.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande knows “everything will be okay”.
The ‘God Is A Woman’ hitmaker posted a message of positivity to her millions of Twitter followers, just days after she missed the Emmy Awards.
She wrote on Twitter: “everything will be okay … i love u so v much (sic)”
Ariana previously revealed she missed the Emmys to “heal and mend”.
Following the death of her former boyfriend Mac Miller from an apparent overdose just days ago and the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester, North West England, in May 2017, her representative said: “Contrary to reports, Ariana will not be attending the Emmys tonight. Pete has also opted to not attend to be with her in New York. Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend. She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding.”
The ‘Side to Side’ hitmaker recently shared a touching tribute to Mac and admitted she “can’t believe” he’s gone.
She wrote on Instagram: “i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do. you were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Aldean has installed two cribs in his tour bus.
The country singer is adapting to family life and his vehicles have been customised to make his nine-month-old son Memphis and his future baby comfortable whilst on the road.
Speaking to reporters before he took to the stage at the iHeartMusic Festival in Las Vegas, he said: “It’s got two cribs in the bus, which I never in the early days of my touring career thought I’d ever do that, but it’s different. It’s a lot different now than it was the early part of my career. Things are settled down. I got playpens sitting outside my bus on college football. I’m watching college football and [Memphis] is in the playpen. That was never a thing early on, so it’s cool.”
Meanwhile, Jason previously revealed his newborn son helped him cope with the Las Vegas shooting tragedy, which saw a gunman open fire on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival and kill 58 people.
He said: “One of the things that helped me, personally, was the birth of my son. That gave me a chance to focus on something else … Within a couple months, I saw the worst thing you could possibly experience, and then I saw the best thing you could possibly experience, with him being born.
“So it gave me something else to focus on, and gave me a reason to look forward to the new year. Getting the chance to get back out there and do what it is that I love to do.”
Jason feels “so blessed” to have welcomed his son into the world after a “rollercoaster ride” of a year.
He wrote on Instagram at the time: “So blessed today to see my little man come into the world. In a year that has been a rollercoaster ride, this is what its all about. I cant wait to see what life has in store for this kid. Memphis Aldean… 9lb 5 oz. #mamawasarockstar (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danniella Westbrook is battling womb cancer.
The 44-year-old television personality has been diagnosed with the disease and is currently waiting to see if it has spread to other parts of her body.
She said: “I’ve always said I am not scared of dying. But when the doctor said, ‘You have cancer’, straight away my thoughts turned to Jade [Goody] and that I don’t want to die. I know I need to fight. After what happened with Jade I was frightened to talk to anyone about my cancer at first. She was my friend and what happened was so awful. There is part of me that thinks I would rather just be ill and not know about it – to just get on with life.
“But then I thought about the kids and I thought that is a selfish way to be. I’ve tried to commit suicide before but getting this diagnosis has made me realise I don’t want to die. I want to live and sort out my health. I know I have to fight, I know I have to get up and battle it.”
Daniella – who is set to have a hysterectomy in three weeks time – is hopeful the disease is “containable”.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “The doctors say they believe it is containable so I’m hopeful. My mum had the same cancer when I was 15. I’m 44 now and she is still here. Her treatment was on the NHS and it worked. They are taking me in in three weeks for a full hysterectomy. Before they take it out they won’t know to what extent the cancer has grown.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Adams thinks her husband has been “extremely generous” in allowing her to put her career first.
The 44-year-old actress – who has eight-year-old daughter Aviana with spouse Darren Le Gallo – finds it frustrating that society finds it “odd” for her to be the main “breadwinner” but she’s thankful the artist is happy to stay at home and allow her to pursue acting projects.
She told Heat magazine: “We’ve often talked about how sometimes society finds it odd that a woman may be the one who is the principal breadwinner and the man should occupy the role of looking after the home.
“Darren is very happy to do this for me and this for me and our daughter and it is extremely generous of him to put aside his desires and aspirations to follow me and allow me to work for very long periods away from home.”
But the ‘Nocturnal Animals’ star admitted she hates being away from her daughter so tries to bring her with her whenever she has to travel for work.
Asked if it’s hard, she said: “Sometimes, I will want to have my daughter closer to me when I’m working and I’ll bring Aviana along with me wherever I’m filming.
“It depends on the project and how disruptive it’s going to be on her.”
Amy – who can currently be seen in TV show ‘Sharp Objects’, which she also executive produced – doesn’t worry about winning awards as her focus is more on her family.
She added: “It’s something nice that happens when your films get noticed and people appreciate your work. But, in general, I’m thinking about my family, my daughter, and preparing for the next project.
“I try to use the time I have in between films to relax as much as I can. Working on ‘Sharp Objects’ was an exception because I was taking an active role in developing the series.
“I’d like to be involved in getting more projects like that made down the road.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa has learned to be “more open” with people because of her songwriting.
The ‘New Rules’ hitmaker used to find it “daunting” sitting in a room to write music with other people because it means pouring out her “secrets” but she’s now a lot more comfortable and has made a lot of good friends from her collaborators.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, she admitted: “At the beginning of my career, when I first started writing, it was very scary. I go into a room and work with different co-writers and talk about personal experiences.
“You have to learn to be a much more open person and really speak your mind and not be afraid of your own thoughts. It’s a daunting experience, you’re telling your secrets to people you’re only meeting for the first time, so that has to come with a lot of confidence.
“Now I’m a lot better at it. I’ve ended up working with the same people over and over again who have become my good friends, they know me better than anyone else.”
Though the 23-year-old singer’s Kosovan parents were reluctant for her to follow a music career as a teenager, Dua pushed herself as hard as she could because she never had any other options in mind.
She said: “I never had a plan B because I knew if I had something to fall back on, I wouldn’t push myself 100% towards music.
“So I went out there and met different producers, wrote songs, found a manager and focused on figuring out what my sound was by going into the studio and writing a lot.
“My parents pushed me to have a plan B. My father is in the music industry and it’s a lot different doing music in Kosovo to the way I do it. It’s a lot different doing it on a global scale.
Dua added that it has been a learning curve, and she knew she had to put her focus on music rather than going to university.
She explained: “There are so many parts of this job that I didn’t even know existed. When I decided not to go to university and just focus on music, my parents asked me multiple times if I was sure that this was what I wanted.
“They asked me if I couldn’t just do both. But firstly, I never knew what I wanted to study and second of all, I knew I wouldn’t have the time to fully perfect both.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lawrence has hinted she’s keen to move into politics.
The ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ actress admitted it is a subject she is very “passionate” about and she’s keen to learn more about the subject.
She said: “I think being outspoken and having a passion for justice is part of my make-up. As I have gotten older, my passion grew into politics.”
Asked if it’s a career option, she added: “Acting is always going to be my first passion but I’m incredibly passionate about politics. I’m always educating myself.”
Jennifer is currently working with Represent.Us, an anti-corruption campaign focusing on stopping political bribery and fixing broken elections and it’s a subject she cares deeply about.
She said: “Everything that I care about falls under the wide net of political corruption.”
The 28-year-old actress caused a stir in 2014 when she wrote an essay about Hollywood’s gender pay gap and she felt it was very important for her to speak up about the issue.
She told Britain’s ELLE magazine: “It’s a global issue that touches every woman in the workforce and I couldn’t really stay silent about it. I’ve been given a voice and if I don’t use it, then what’s the point?”
Away from acting and politics, the ‘mother!’ star is currently busy writing a movie with Amy Schumer but admitted they are taking a very relaxed approach to penning their script.
She said: “The script is coming along. At the beginning, we were so excited, we were like, crunch time. Turning in pages.
“Now we’re both just kind of relaxed with it. We’ll hang out and then we start laughing and we add to it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexa Chung takes style guidance from Chloe Sevigny.
The 34-year-old presenter-turned-designer think its “nice” that she’s still regarded as a fashion icon but admitted she also finds it “comforting” to look to older stars, such as the 43-year-old actress, to give her an idea of what’s still appropriate to wear.
She said: “It’s nice to hear that I’ve made it past 25 and people still sometimes think I look alright.
“And also I look to other people’s style too, you know.
“I think it’s comforting to have someone a few years ahead of you and still trying to get away with hot pants. I look at pictures of Chloe Sevigny and think, ‘Right, OK, so we can still do this.’ ”
Alexa has relished her move into design and understands she needs to be forceful to get her ideas across, rather than try to be liked.
She said: “It’s about doing things with conviction and not being afraid to give negative feedback.
“I’ve always been in industries where you have to be incredibly likeable to do the job because being charming is part of the job description if you’re presenting TV or interviewing people.
“Whereas, with this, there are moments where you have to be the least liked person in the room in order to make clothes that are the most liked item on the rail.”
Alexa’s latest collection for her eponymous brand is inspired by air travel and is called ‘Arrivals and Departures’.
She explained to Grazia magazine: “It’s that needs-must thing, where either your case weighs too much so they’ve forced you to take things out, or you’re on a chilly plane but you’re also half in your stuff that you just wore to Ibiza.
“What was really appealing to me was the idea you could be in a sundress and trainers and then you’ve got a winter coat over it – or the way that Britishness leaks through so you might be in a safari suit but also have weird jelly shoes on.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price has checked into rehab suffering from post- traumatic stress disorder.
The 40-year-old presenter has agreed to seek help at The Priory after her family urged her to do something about her wild behaviour and, following a consultation on Wednesday (19.09.18), she will start a 28-day treatment programme on Monday (24.09.18), though she won’t be staying overnight at the facility.
Her mother Amy – who has a terminal lung condition – said: “Kate has been her own worst enemy and behaved like an idiot at times but she has been tearing herself apart for years.
“To see what Katie is going through and how she has been treated hurts me and my family.
“No mum or dad wants to see their child treated like this, watch as they crumble, and feel powerless to help. It’s unbearable.
“She is constantly judged on her kids, her home, work, financial situation, the way she looks, how she dresses and what she does.
“No person can take this kind of pressure and not succumb to it.
“Of course she has put herself in the public eye but she has been dealing with endless attack as well as my illness.”
Katie – who has children Harvey, 16, with former boyfriend Dwight Yorke, Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, five, and four-year-old Bunny with third spouse Kieran Hayler – has been put on a curfew but can go home in the evenings, has had her phone confiscated and has been banned from social media.
But doctors will ask to stay for residential treatment if she is considered a threat to herself or she fails to comply with their strict rules.
Amy hopes the programme will help her daughter.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I am relieved that Kate has admitted she needs help to cope, to recognise her shortcomings and erratic behaviour, and to learn to love herself — to find the person inside she really is.
“Rehab is a commitment she has made to herself, so I hope others allow her the breathing space to do this, and to heal herself…
“Kate is a wonderful daughter and good mother — despite what everyone thinks.
“It’s important for Kate to know how much we all love her, and her children do too.
“They need their mother to love herself and to learn to cope better.
“She has been walking a fine edge lately, and everyone knows it.
“One day she will tell people what has caused all this and some people will hold their heads in shame.
“Kate is a fighter and the least likely person I know to feel sorry for herself.
“So to see her so completely lost has been terrifying.”
The ‘Loose Women’ star’s mother also hit out at her daughter’s former partners, accusing them of contributing to her issues.
She said: “All the men in her life have used Katie, and never, ever leave her alone.
“And nearly all have been with her to raise their profile.
“Kieran almost destroyed Kate with his behaviour, Alex (Reid) has been as bad, and Pete likes to portray himself as perfect.
“They all know that Kate is not perfect and they all know that if they wind her up she will react.
“Kate is stupid for reacting, but these men need to look at how they are behaving and take some responsibility.”
As part of her treatment, Katie will be taught Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to cope with stress.
She will also have Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help her to recognise and understand her destructive impulsive tendencies.

OHMYGOSSIP — The Duchess of Sussex used fabric from the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry in her wedding veil.
The former ‘Suits’ actress – who was known as Meghan Markle before she wed the prince in May – had a square of fabric stitched into the stunning 16ft accessory as her “something blue” for good luck on her big day.
In a clip from the upcoming documentary ‘Queen of the World’, Meghan could be seen looking at her veil as she said: “Somewhere in here there’s a piece of blue fabric that’s stitched inside — it was my something blue.
“It’s fabric from the dress that I wore on our first date.”
Meghan – who alongside Harry works as an ambassador for the Commonwealth Trust – had the flowers which represent all 53 countries in the Commonwealth stitched into her veil and she admitted it was very “important” for her to do that because of her new role.
She said: “I’m really over the moon to find out that I would make this choice for our day together.
“And I think the other members of the family had a similar reaction and just appreciation for the fact that we understand how important this is for us and the role that we play, and the work that we’re going to continue to do within the Commonwealth countries.
“It was good news all around, I think, so I hope people like it as much as I liked helping to create it.”
Harry previously admitted he was “incredibly grateful” to have Meghan alongside him in his Commonwealth Trust work.
He said earlier this year: “In my new role, I will work to support The Queen, my father The Prince of Wales, and my brother William, all of whom know that young people are the answer to the challenges of today.
“I am also incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Karen Clifton has admitted ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ damaged her marriage to Kevin Clifton.
The 36-year-old dancer – who performed with her estranged husband on the show last night (22.09.18) – admitted the programme was the “glue” which held her and Kevin together but also kept them too busy to cope with the problems that had arisen in their relationship.
She said: “I found the split very hard to deal with and I panicked.
“We weren’t perfect but we were a normal couple who began to have rocky moments and we didn’t know how to handle it.
“‘Strictly’ was the glue that was keeping us together but it was also the workload that was leaving us with no time to communicate.
“To some, it’s like ‘Oh, you’re both on television and living a glamorous life’ but it wasn’t at all like that.
“We were working from 6am until 11pm and by the time we got home there would be no time to do anything. There was no opportunity for us to connect and we started going in completely different directions.
“We communicated well professionally, but that didn’t translate into our relationship.”
And Karen admitted she and Kevin put too much focus on their work and not enough on their three-year marriage.
She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Both Kevin and I are professionals. We take our jobs on ‘Strictly’ so seriously, so it was intense.
“We were working so hard and enjoying these great moments on Saturday nights on the show, then we would be on red carpets at parties, but it was what happened when we got home that was the problem.
“We weren’t getting what we both needed from our marriage any more and that was a huge thing. We weren’t doing the things we would usually do.
“You think you’ll work on this stuff later, but because of work you don’t address the problems. It’s very hard to pay attention to your relationship when you’re paying so much attention to work.
“Then, it just snapped out of nowhere and we realised that the love we had for one another had gone. It was such a sad day.”
To help her come to terms with the split, Karen has been having life coaching sessions with former ‘Strictly’ professional Camilla Dallerup, who retrained as a therapist and now works in Los Angeles.
She said: “I have sessions with Camilla. We FaceTime. I work on things from my past with her. I work to understand the pressure I’m under and learn to take better care of myself.
“I’d like to think that I can help inspire other women, too. I’m undergoing therapy twice a month and I have also been doing hypnotherapy to treat my anxiety. That has been really helpful.”
Despite their marriage split, Karen and Kevin have a “nice friendship” now.
She said: “We WhatsApp one another and we have a nice friendship now.
“That might sound weird to some people but we have learned to communicate again.
“We laugh and giggle together in a way that we didn’t for a long time, particularly at the end of our relationship.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga think they put their careers at risk with ‘A Star is Born’.
The Oscar-winning actor has moved behind the camera to direct their upcoming musical, while the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker is making her big screen debut, and though the film has received rave reviews so far, both stars were aware it could have been their downfall.
Bradley said: “There are certain projects where you can go, ‘It didn’t work out, but it’s OK’.
“And there are others where it’s like, ‘Actually, that wasn’t OK, and I took about five steps back.’ This was one of those. If it didn’t work, we both knew it was going to affect our careers.”
Gaga agreed: “Things could have turned a bad corner.”
But the ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ actor admitted a lot of his career decisions – such as starring in the stage revival of ‘The Elephant Man’ in 2014 – haven’t made “sense”.
He told the Sunday Telegraph magazine: “If I had been thinking about this like a corporation, there would have been a big meeting after I finished ‘American Sniper’.
“And we’d all be like, ‘OK, this is now our shot at the prime time, and we don’t know how long it’s going to last.’
“And we would not have then decided to do a play and then make ‘A Star Is Born’ for the fourth time. It makes no sense.”
But Bradley realised the movie was the ideal project for his directorial debut when he was initially preparing to star in the movie, which initially had Clint Eastwood at the helm.
He said: “[I remember] suddenly having this specific point of view deep inside me about what this love story was. And I know it sounds sophomoric, but I would only know how to tell a story if I had a point of view.
“Some people said maybe I should direct a commercial, or a pilot for a TV show, but that would have scared the daylights out of me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Smith has apologised to fans after pulling out of the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday (21.09.18).
The ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ hitmaker had been due to take to the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the event but pulled out due to “unforeseen circumstances” and has now admitted he’s been suffering from vocal issues and needed to “rest” in order to be ready for his Asian tour, which starts in Singapore on October 2.
He tweeted: “Hello beautiful people. Thank you for your lovely messages. Just been to see my voice doctor in Boston after last night’s scare in Vegas, everything is luckily ok but I need to rest it this week in preparation for the start of Asia tour. I’m sorry everyone. All my love, Sam xx (sic)”
The 26-year-old star had previously revealed his rehearsals for the show had uncovered a problem.
Announcing the cancellation, he tweeted: “Dear all, Due to unforeseen circumstances which transpired after rehearsal, it became clear that I’m sadly unable to perform at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Vegas tonight.
“I am so so sorry about this and I want to apologise to all my fans. All my love, always. Sam x.(sic)”
The ‘Stay With Me’ hitmaker previously underwent surgery in 2015 after suffering a haemorrhage on his vocal cords and admitted afterwards he was scared of getting back on stage.
When asked if he is ready for a tour scheduled after the operation, he said: “I am. I’m scared. If anyone’s listening I’m really going to try my absolute best, but I am scared though. It’s quite intense to go into. But I love what I do and I wanted to do it, and hopefully I can hold it all together and perform every show.”
