I was skiing. I was an idiot and went on a black slope on the second day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got taken down in a blood bag. It was the worst. It\u2019s a permanent thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHe went on about the lasting impact of his horror injury to his ACL: \u201cIt\u2019s in between your bones and helps you jump and spring around.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt completely ripped and I decided to go down the non-surgical route but I couldn\u2019t walk for a month on this leg and it was awful.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt was the first time I\u2019d ever not been able to move and I was holding onto a bit of weight. I was very anxious. I used it as an excuse to get my s*** together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSam also told how they have tried to wipe old flames from their life by getting rid of their mobile phone and starting afresh on one without any social media.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer added: \u201cI actually just got rid of my phone and I got a new phone. It\u2019s the first time I don\u2019t have my library of music, that I\u2019d had since I was like 11.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI started again \u2013 fully started again. I needed an American number and my phone was just full of people like exes and all these different people through the years.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd I took social media off. Everything It\u2019s crazy. I find myself sitting on benches now in parks just looking at the trees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSam is due to make a stage comeback next month for a performance at the BBC Proms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sam-smith-left-crippled-ski-injury-led-rescued-slope-blood-bag-1403155.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 July 2024 Sam Smith was left unable to walk after a skiing injury that resulted in the singer being taken off a slope in a \u201cblood bag\u201d.
