Sam Smith knows how to have a good time while out on tour.
The Grammy-winner, 26, was spotted partying at Candibar in Boston’s Theater District on Sunday night with a small group of friends. Dressed in black Adidas track pants, a black tee, and white sneakers, the crooner was spotted “dancing and having a good time” with his pals, and smoking a cigarette outside on the sidewalk.
“I don’t believe he was drinking,” fellow club-goer Joe Coon told PEOPLE. “I don’t think people recognized him. I would have thought people would swarm him, but it didn’t happen. The people he was with were trying to prevent people from taking photos/videos.”
