Sam Smith has lost 50 pounds with a new health regime but admits to missing and even dreaming about eating tuna melts.

 

Sharing how he went to bed on Monday night and woke up from a dream about toasted cheese and fish sandwiches, he said: "I went to bed last night dreaming of tuna melts. I love food. My relationship with food has just completely changed.

 

During the process of this album [In the Lonely Hour], I just was getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

"When someone calls you gay, there's not much you can do about that because I am. Whereas, if someone calls you fat, there is something you can do about that."

 

He also shared how hard it has been since having vocal surgery and how he has to take longer “resting breaks” after each show. He admitted to making compromise of not making high-pitched songs to keep his vocal chords in check.

 

He told NBC News: "It's been a struggle to get through. I've got to plan longer resting breaks in between shows. I just need to stop writing songs that are too high to sing."
