6 November, 2014: Sam Smith plays one of his biggest UK shows to date, stunning all present at London's Hammersmith Apollo. See our beautiful, exclusive photos from the show here. 

It’s been quite the year for Sam Smith. A relative unknown 12 months ago, he’s now a platinum-selling artist – and a star on both sides of the pond, leading the latest wave of the “British invasion” in the States.

Such is Smith's US success, it feels like a privilege to witness him on the UK-based dates of his ‘In The Lonely Hour’ tour. The latest stop on his homecoming is at the Hammersmith Apollo (the first of two dates) and there’s an air of celebration.
