Sam Smith Sellout

SAM'S A SELLOUT: Capitol's Sam Smith is a ticket-selling machine. The breakout Brit has sold out Madison Square Garden and L.A.'s Forum in mere minutes (the latter has added a second show); previously sold-out venues for the vocal powerhouse's 2015 tour include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, Minneapolis, Nashville, D.C. and Vancouver. It's been a whirlwind several days for Smith, who collected five U.K. awards (four MOBOs and a Q, you'll recall) in one day earlier this week. Rumors that Sinead O'Connor and Pope Francis will open in select markets couldn't be confirmed at presstime. (10/24p)
