Madonna confirms Sam Smith collaboration "Vulgar"
After a week of teasing fans on their socials, Madonna has confirmed that a collaboration with Sam Smith is on the way.
Both Smith and Madonna shared a video on their social media on Wednesday which read, "SxM - Sam and Madonna". On stage, later that evening, Smith revealed to fans that a "surprise" was planned with a new song to be played at the finale of their show in Manchester at the AO Arena.
"We've planned a little surprise for you tonight. I want to play to you one of my new songs that's coming out... After the show, at the very end of the show, after "Unholy", please stay around," they said. Unfortunately, the show was cut short, and the surprise was never revealed.
