Jet-setter: The singer is currently in Australia and is set to hold a special gig at South Australia’s iconic d’Arenberg Cube in January 2023

‘It has been magical in every way to make this piece of music and by giving this record to you I am giving you part of my heart and soul. Gloria got me through some dark times and was a beacon for me in my life. I hope it can be that for you. Thank you for waiting so long. Only a few months now. Sam x’

The singer is currently in Australia and is set to hold a special gig at South Australia’s iconic d’Arenberg Cube in January 2023.

The intimate performance will be the pop star’s only show in the country during their visit.

It comes after Sam reportedly caused quite a stir while filming an X-Rated S&M music video for a song on their latest album.

They allegedly filmed the video at Hertfordshire’s Ashridge House, a former royal residence, while it was still open to the public as a tourist attraction, with a source explaining that older visitors were ‘absolutely shocked’.

According to The Sun, guests of the country house were treated to ‘spectacular views’ during the raunchy video, as drag queens and scantily-clad extras took to their set for the day.

Popular among older tourists looking for a day trip, Ashridge House was the home to Dukes and Earls of Bridgewater for 245 years and was used by Henry VII.

An insider said: ‘There were plenty of older folk enjoying a walk in the grounds when a load of geezers in leather turned up in all sorts.

‘It probably nearly gave a few of them a heart attack. They were absolutely shocked.

‘Some of the staff at the house had to try to usher the dancers through discretely, and move the visitors through another part of the estate to avoid creating a scene. It was very funny,’ they explained.

MailOnline contacted representatives of Sam and Ashridge House for comment at the time. 

Singing their heart out: Last month, Sam performed at the bill signing ceremony for the Respect for Marriage Act at the Whitehouse in Washington
