Sam Smith: Elton John gave me drag name but I turned the other cheeks

SAM SMITH says pal Sir Elton John has come up with a drag name for him.

While discussing his fascination for cross-dressing, the Dancing With A Stranger singer revealed the superstar came up with the suggestion. ‘It was Anna Nicole Smith,’ Smith said.

However, he’d rather not channel the late Playboy star. ‘I did get a drag name book and I like the name Rosy Cheeks,’ he added.

Revealing his past time on Glyn Fussell’s Drag Queens’ Den podcast, Smith, 26, said: ‘Growing up as a little gay boy who loves Britney Spears, Beyoncé and Vengaboys, I would always love to dress up in my room and dance.’
