Singer Sam Smith has delayed the release of his new album in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Smith's third LP was scheduled to be released on May 1.

The album, which was titled 'To Die For', will be renamed, the Oscar winner said in a statement on Monday.

"I have done a lot of thinking the last few weeks and feel that the title of my album and imminent release doesn't (sic) feel right, so I have come to the decision to continue working on the album and make some important changes and additions," Smith, 27, wrote on Twitter.

"I will be renaming my album and pushing back the release date both of which are to be confirmed at this time," the singer added.

"The writing's on the wall" hitmaker promised that the album will come out this year.

"But until then I am still going to bring out some new music over the next few months, which I'm incredibly excited about."
"I hope you are all alright during this incredibly weird, upsetting and unprecedented time."
