"And, rarely has there been a bit of time for some stillness, or time to catch up with family, or to replenish energy, which I know, we all know, is incredibly important. I feel so privileged to even be in the position I'm able to release an album, in the first place, and I truly believe that demands full vigour, full gratitude, full respect.

"Also, I know that I just want to call my grandad and instead of always saying, 'I'll see you soon,' be like, 'I'm coming over', so that's what I'm gonna do. Thank you so much for understanding, 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!' coming December 9th. Peace, love ya, bye!"

In the video, Sam goes on to say it's the biggest tour he's ever done and he can't wait to: "see you all soon".
