Sam Smith Details Ski Accident Injuries

Sam Smith recently opened up about a serious skiing accident that caused them to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), leaving them unable to walk for a month. During an appearance on the podcast 'Sidetracked with Annie and Nick,' the 32-year-old singer described the incident as a result of skiing on a challenging black slope, explaining, 'I got taken down in a blood bag. It was the worst.' Opting for a non-surgical recovery route, Smith faced significant physical and emotional challenges during their immobilization, using the time for self-reflection and to make changes in their life, including getting a new phone and deleting old contacts. This accident followed a busy tour supporting their album 'Gloria,' making the transition to immobility particularly disorienting. Smith's candid discussion also revealed their struggles with anxiety during recovery, stating it was the first time they felt unable to move. The incident has led them to seek peace and clarity in various aspects of their life.
