Sam Smith has poked fun at having a minor operation on his eye with the quip, "Stye With Me".
The 26-year-old star took to Instagram to share a picture of his eye bandaged up with a pirate’s patch as he waited to undergo surgery on Monday (13.01.19), and made a joke in reference to his hit song ‘Stay With Me’.
Alongside the picture, he wrote: "Stye with me."
Sam also posted a series of pictures of his eye on his Instagram Stories, and revealed he was "f***king scared" about the op.
He wrote: "So. I’m getting it operated on in 20 minutes. I’m f***ing scared and also super hyped that I get to wear this pirate patch."
However, he later confessed that it was only a quick procedure and that he was being "over dramatic".
He added: "I’m being super dramatic. It’s like a 15 minute Operation lol."
Sam – who split up from ’13 Reasons Why’ star Brandon Flynn last year, after just nine months together – then shared a boomerang of the infected eye, and wrote that he was "single, sexy and sassy".
Sam also shared a picture of him rocking a medical cap from the hospital bed, and then one of him in the car on the way to a friend’s birthday party.
Two hours later, the ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ hitmaker shared a video of his friends and him singing happy birthday to his pal.
On Sunday (13.01.19), the ‘Fire On Fire’ singer revealed he was in "agony" because the style – a painful red lump on the eyelid was worsening.
He wrote: "Been feeling sorry for myself all day because my f***ing eye is in agony and getting worse and worse."
