Hot ticket
The July 29 Sam Smith concert scheduled at Value City Arena in Columbus has been rescheduled for Oct. 5. Additional healing time for Smith's vocal cords after surgery were needed, a press release said. Tickets for the Columbus concert will be honored for the October date. Refunds are available at point of purchase. The British-born Smith, 23, best known for his hit "Stay With Me," won four Grammy awards in February for his debut album, "In the Lonely Hour."
