Sam, who simply captioned the snap "Recording," then sent a follow-up tweet to thank his fans for their support, writing: "Reading through all your comments. Love you all so much. Can't wait for you all to hear the music!" Following the revelation that Sam was working on new material, one fan wrote: "Are you trying to give me a heart attack before I go into work?" while another added: "In the Lonely Hour is one of my favourite albums of all time...literally no skips. I'm beyond excited for new music."
Sam hasn't released a new single since 2015, when he won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the James Bond theme song, Writing's on the Wall. In his acceptance speech at the time, he said: "I read an article a few months ago by Sir Ian McKellen and he said no openly gay man had won an Oscar. If this is the case, I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community around the world. I stand here tonight as a proud gay man and I hope that we can all stand as equals one day."
