Hi, and welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, this sounds like a bug which which a mod has posted about here. [corrected link; somehow I managed to link to an image of my profile picture!]

Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

This may sound bizarre but can you try turning off 4G and seeing if that makes any difference please?

Do you have task killing apps? 

If so, try using it to kill Spotify and then see if it will launch normally again.

Sorry I did not post my personal solution before, seem the app was stuck at facebook login page

I installed an older version of the app from m.spotify.com after I deleted old data, logged in using my premium credentials then when prompted to link the account to facbook I DID then I disabled this feature from facebook - after finishing the steps above I upgraded- now it is working
