R&B singer Sam Smith made an appearance on the iHeartRadio Living Room Series, in which they performed three original songs and one cover song from their living room.
Smith dedicated the hour-long performance to the essential frontline workers who are battling the global pandemic, and encouraged viewers to donate to the not-for-profit organization, "No Kid Hungry."
"I really just want to take this moment, right now, from my heart, just to say thank you to everyone out there; all the first responders, all of the nurses, the doctors, the bus drivers, the people working in all the shops. I've been enamored just watching everyone, and all your kindness, and how you've looked after us," Smith shared.
In addition to an acoustic version of their songs, "Dancing With A Stranger," "How Do You Sleep?" and "Stay With Me," the singer also performed a moving cover of Coldplay's 2005 powerful hit song, "Fix You."
"The last few weeks [and] the last few months have been so mad for everyone, and I've just been at home, and really, weirdly, falling in love with singing again," they shared before diving into the song.
"And, I've been singing so many different songs, and songs that aren't my own, and I love this song. And, as soon as I heard it, I was just reminded, again, of how much of a classic it is. I've never actually seen Chris Martin perform this live, but I really want to, because I've fallen in love with this song after singing it."
