Pop star Sam Smith has reportedly bought a collection of Egyptian artefacts.

The "Stay With Me" hitmaker stopped by the Barakat Gallery in London's Mayfair, which specialises in ancient art, last week to buy some historic objects after being inspired by Adam Lambert, who has always been obsessed with Egyptian culture, following their meeting in New York, reported Female First.

"Adam's passion has rubbed off on Sam. His first tattoo was the Egyptian Eye of Horus, which he got right before 'American Idol' to "protect" hit on the show. The first thing Sam did when he got back to the UK was check out the pieces in the gallery," a source said.
