With the release of his new debut album just days away, Sam Smith might be sweeping the charts and news headlines by coming out as gay.

“I am comfortable with myself, and my life is amazing in that respect,” he said during an interview with FADER. “I just wanted to talk about him and have it out there. It’s about a guy and that’s what I wanted people to know—I want to be clear that that’s what it’s about."

"I’ve been treated as normal as anyone in my life; I’ve had no issues. I do know that some people have issues in life, but I haven’t, and it’s as normal as my right arm. I want to make it a normality because this is a non-issue. People wouldn’t ask a straight person these questions.”

During the interview, Sam Smith not only admits to being gay, but also draws a lot of similarities to Adele, given the inspiration of his new album, "In the Lonely Hour."

“I’ve never been in a relationship before,” the 22-year-old shared. “I’ve only been in unrequited relationships where people haven’t loved me back. ‘In the Lonely Hour’ is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back.”

Through his new album, Sam Smith hopes to find true love.

“It’s all there now, and I can move on and hopefully find a guy who can love me the way I love him.”
