UnNews:Sam Smith's family thank fans
Saturday, September 14, 2019
Sam Smith's family have thanked fans for their compassionate response to the singer's decision to change pronouns to "they" and "them".
"They [Smith] really appreciate them [the fans]," a family spokesperson said. "They [Smith] had been going through one of the hardest periods of their [Smith's] life, and they [the fans] really came through for them [Smith]."
"Some of them [the fans] found out where they [Smith] live and actually sent them [Smith] some flowers. They [Smith] were not expecting them [the fans] to send them [Smith] them [the flowers]."
Nonetheless, at least one Smith fan ran into trouble with the change.
A YouTuber, FireOnFireOnFire, said:"All these people hating on Sam, they're just sad, angry and pathetic.
"Oh shit, we call them 'they' as well!!"
