Sam has released two albums: Hypersonic Missiles in 2019 and Seventeen Going Below in 2021.
Not long after the release of Seventeen Going Below, Sam was forced to cancel several headlining US concerts to focus on his mental health.
He said at the time: “I find it completely hypocritical to defend the mental health debate and write songs about it if I don't take the time to take care of my own mental health.”
'I have neglected myself for over a year and haven't dealt with things that have affected me deeply.
“It is impossible to do this work on myself while traveling, and it is exhausting to fake happiness and well-being for the sake of business.”

Sam, known for performing even free of charge, said on Twitter and Instagram that he was “eternally overwhelmed by the love and support of our followers” and that he was upset for disappointing them.
Among the outpouring of support in her comments section was a message from Gwyneth Paltrow, who said: 'This is beautiful. We (heart emoji) you. Take care of yourself.'
The North Shields artist previously said the name of second album, Seventeen Going Below, was influenced by his mental health issues and therapy sessions.
On social networks he added: “The state of my well-being is starting to affect everything I do, including my performances (and) I refuse to go out and not give it my all EVERY time, as you all deserve nothing less.”
