Back in May, Sam Smith performed an emotional cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You” during the iHeartRadio Living Room Series and we’ve been waiting for him to officially release the cover. On Sunday, they gave the fans what they’ve been asking for by dropping their cover to the song.

“Thank you @Coldplay for writing such a beautiful song,” Smith wrote along with a clip of them singing the song on Instagram.

Since the coronavirus has left them working at home, they’ve fallen back in love with singing, especially singing other artists’ songs.

“I love this song, and as soon as I heard it I was just reminded again of how much of a classic it is,” Smith said of the cover before they performed it in May.

In March, Smith announced that their third album, To Die For, would be pushed back from its release date of May 1 and a new date has yet to be announced, but they said it would be released later this year. Smith released a collab with Demi Lovato in May titled “I’m Ready.”
