SINGER Sam Smith has admitted he was emotional after a Glasgow music venue pulled off  a spectacular stunt in his honour.

The SSE Hydro showed off rainbow colours on its building for the singer's two night stint at the venue.

The hitmaker, who is dating 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn,  shared the image on social media and beamed: "I can't believe the SSE Hydro did this. Has made me so emotional."

Rainbow colours are often used as a symbol of gay pride.

Fans responded to the post on social media:

The singer will play a second night of his The Thrill of It tour at the venue tonight. 

He is best known for hits Stay With Me, Like I Can and Lay Me Down.
