Manchester Evening News reported that Sam had performed just four songs before going off stage as the lights were dimmed temporarily sparking concerns of a power cut.
However, thousands of people were then told the show had ended due to “vocal issues” and fans were told to leave the arena.

Sam has since issued a statement to their adoring fans who were left “gutted” when they had to leave the arena.
They wrote: “Dearest sailors, I don’t know what to say honestly. I fought off a virus a few weeks ago and since then we have travelled across Europe and had such incredible shows.
“Today in soundcheck I felt fine and was so excited to give Manchester an amazing show tonight, with a special surprise at the end.”
Sam continued: “During my third song, I noticed something wrong with my voice. I prayed it was just my voice waking up for the show but into the fourth song I could feel something was really wrong.

“I came off stage and have tried everything to get my voice back in gear but it won’t.”
They added that they were “honestly heartbroken” that they couldn’t finish the show, writing: “I love you all. I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.”
Fans had mixed responses after the statement, with one user writing: “For me Sam should have come out and said it and apologised in person. Not leave some bloke to do it over a tannoy.”

Meanwhile others were supportive of the statement writing: “I understand your upset but I’m pretty sure Sam is even more upset due to the cancellation.”
While another wrote: “Get well soon Sam xxx.”
Fans are now waiting to hear updates on the rest of Sam’s shows which were due to continue tonight (May 25).
