Sam Smith claimed that they were left unable to walk after a horrific skiing accident earlier this year.

The 32-year-old singer, who tore their ACL and needed to be rescued from a ski hill, has spent the past seven months focusing on mental health.

Sam emphasized how the damage is irreversible, which made them nervous and gave them an excuse to ‘get them together’.

In January, Sam was observed strolling around NYC with a cane and boot on their foot, but they have not discussed the issue yet.

Sam spoke about the horrific tragedy for the first time on the Sidetracked podcast, saying, ‘I’ve been really focused on my mental issues for the last seven months because I actually broke my ACL.

‘I completely ripped my ACL. I was skiing. I was an idiot and went on a black slope on the second day.

‘I got taken down in a blood bag. It was the worst. It’s a permanent thing.’

Explaining more about the ACL tear, they added: ‘It’s in between your bones and helps you jump and spring around.

‘It completely ripped and I decided to go down the non-surgical route but I couldn’t walk for a month on this leg and it was awful.

‘It was the first time I’d ever not been able to move and I was holding onto a bit of weight. I was very anxious. I used it as an excuse to get mine together.’

In January, Sam was seen strolling around NYC with a cane and wearing an extended knee brace on their right leg.

Dailymail.com reached out to Smith’s representatives for more information on why they were using a cane at the time.

Despite his injury, Sam will return to the stage next month to play at the BBC Proms.

Despite his injuries, Sam will return to the stage next month for a performance at the BBC Proms.

In April, Sam was revealed to perform at the Proms this year. The BBC has stated that their show will be “entirely appropriate for the festival.”

In recent years, the diva has staged a number of provocative shows, and she is frequently seen wearing risqué and sexualized clothes on stage.

In 2019, Sam declared that they were non-binary and requested that people refer to them using the pronoun they/them.
