Between new albums from the likes of Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Beck, Miley Cyrus, and Demi Lovato, just to name a few, the schedule for new music in fall 2017 already looks pretty exciting. And now it's looking like Sam Smith could be adding his name to the mix as well.

The GRAMMY winner has held a low profile for the last couple of years, coming off his hugely successful debut album, 2014's In The Lonely Hour. But judging from a new note Smith's shared with fans, it seems he is poised to make his presence known again soon."To all my beautiful fans, first of all I want to say thank you," wrote Smith. "Thank you for being so patient and for letting me have the past year to really escape into my mind & write music so freely. I feel so rejuvenated and have so many stories I can't wait to tell you. … The wait is so nearly over."

The Londoner's debut spawned GRAMMYs for Best Pop Vocal Album and Record and Song Of The Year ("Stay With Me") at the 57th GRAMMY Awards. He also took home the coveted Best New Artist award.
