Sam Smith loves gazing at the stars

The 23-year-old singer - who wrapped his 'In the Lonely Hour' world tour at the weekend - sought solace in gazing at the stars in order to gain some perspective on his life.

He tweeted: "Just sat on the beach with my family and star gazed. I have never seen anything like it

"Star gazing in Australia is other worldly.

"I find just sitting and watching the stars is almost like plugging your spirit and soul on to charge.

"Reminds me how small we all are, but also how mighty and magic we all are as humans.

"Sorry to be intense and cringe - but it's the truth. I will always be in complete awe and filled with complete confusion at the stars x (sic)"

While the 'Writing's On the Wall' hitmaker is upset his tour is over, he is already looking ahead to the future and has a title for his second album in place, though it is likely to change before release.

He revealed: "I just wrote my new album title in the sand. 

"I always start new projects with a working title or message of what I'm trying to say - then the writing flows for me. So I have the starting point. 

"When I'm finished - I'll reveal the rest of this picture. Then we can see if the message stayed the same (I change my mind a lot) xx (sic)"
