Sam Smith terrified of flying
British pop star Sam Smith suffers from a crippling fear of flying which threatens to hamper his international pop career.
The Stay With Me singer is required to jet around the world for work, but he has a meltdown on every journey due to his phobia.
Smith hopes to one day be able to afford a private jet as he is
convinced travelling in a small, luxury airplane will help ease his
fears.
He tells Digital Spy, "I'm really scared of flying. Like, really
really really scared... My main incentive now is to be so
successful that I can get a private jet and sit with the pilot. I
got upgraded to first class the other week, but even there I was
still scared. I could be massaged for the whole flight and still
think I'm going to die."
Smith is now thinking about undergoing hypnotherapy to help with
the phobia, adding, "I might do that actually. I've been thinking
about it."
