"I want to give you the concert you deserve so I can't go on.
"I'm going to come back, but I need to go now."
Olly has since given an update after seeing a doctor and said he has been ordered to go on voice rest for 48 hours.
In a lengthly post, the devastated pop star admitted letting his fans down has "hit him hard".
"To everyone in Glasgow last night, I want to start by saying sorry,' he said.
"What happened last night has never happened to me before and I'm truly gutted and upset about it.
"In 15years I've never had to leave the stage after 30minutes into a show, but my voice was failing me. I was panicking and worrying on what to do which gave me no choice but to address it."
Olly continued: "The thought of upsetting people and letting you the fans down has hit me hard today.
"Speaking in front of you last night and seeing people upset was hard to see but from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry but I had to put my
health
first."
Olly, a dad-of-one, went on to say he is "deeply sorry" for having to cancel this weekend's shows in Manchester and Birmingham.
Explaining that he has a "respiratory infection", Olly added: "(I)
have been instructed to go on a strict 48 hour voice rest by the doctor to ensure no further damage to my vocal chords.
"
I've been having the best time on this tour and I'm so sorry to let my fans down, I'm hoping to be fighting fit in a few days to finish this amazing 15 year celebratory tour with a bang.
"
These are unfortunately not the first concerts Olly has had to cancel during his tour.
Last month, the former X Factor star apologised to fans with tickets to his Hull and Brighton arena shows in a statement
In February,
Olly had been due to perform at Bla Bla Dubai but took to Instagram just hours before the gig to apologise and saying doctors had ordered him to rest.

IT can be heard to find a versatile top to style up for day or night without resorting to the same old T-shirt. So it's no wonder there's a new option from Marks & Spencer that has fashion fans all excited. 3 Mum-of-two Irene took to Instagram to share her new M&S fringe top Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 She teamed the top with some wide-legged cream trousers and metallic sandals Credit: Instagram/renewearsfashion 3 The £35 number also comes in black Credit: M&S Mum-of-two Irene is among them, and took to her The But it's the detail on the hem that really ups the wow factor - a gorgeous fringe trim.

Shoppers run for summer's 'wow factor' denim jacket in M&S, it's set to go viral "The textured detailing adds movement and flair, perfect for lifting everyday outfits." Shoppers haven't been able to nab anything from M&S online for over a month, following a damaging cyber attack over Easter weekend in April. Personal data of customers, which may have included names, email addresses, dates of birth and postal addresses, was taken in the attack - after which M&S halted online orders. But now the outlet is once again accepting online orders on certain products - with "more of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day", John Lyttle, M&S managing director of clothing, home and beauty, said. In a statement posted on social media, he added: "We will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks. "Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us." Luckily enough, the fringe top is one of the products available to buy from the M&S website now. However, due to demand, delivery will take around 10 days.

Bonnie Blue's latest challenge results in deactivation of Only Fans account
Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has called off her latest challenge after facing severe backlash, which has even led to the deactivation of her Only Fans [OF] account. The 26-year-old gained notoriety for her extreme sexual content including a 24-hour challenge which saw her sexually involved with more than 1,000 men. Last week, the OF model announced her next event would see her 'tied up' inside a glass box 'ready to be used.' Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has called off her latest challenge after facing severe backlash, which has even led to the deactivation of her Only Fans [Only Fans] account. Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram In a now deleted website, the event was set to take place on June 15, with Bonnie explaining: 'For 24 hours, I'm all yours. 'Tied up, gagged, bent over, begging — however you want me, you can have me. No limits. No breaks. Just me, in a box and ready to be used. 'It's dirty, intense, and completely open. You can watch, join in, or do both. There will be live shows, group scenes, and plenty of chances to be involved — whether you want to take control or just enjoy the view.' The 26-year-old has gained notoriety for her extreme sexual content including a 24-hour challenge which saw her sexually involved with more than 1,000 men. Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram Bonnie gave further detail on the extreme event last month, telling Kat Baker on The Kat Baker Show that the glass box would be in a house in the centre of London and 'open for the public.' The 26-year-old added that she wanted to beat her record by 'doing 2,000 bodies' in the 24-hour period. Following intense backlash of the challenge, Bonnie — whose real name is Tia Emma Billinger — has pulled it and is set to do a 24-hour live-stream instead. Despite pulling the shock event, Bonnie has since had her Only Fans account deactivated with a source telling OK Magazine she has 'taken things way too far.' Pic: Bonnie Blue via Instagram Social media users took to X to have their say, with many hitting out at Bonnie for promoting 'public exploitation' and 'rape culture.' One said: 'Can we make a petition for this to not happen? Traumtised even knowing about it,' while another added: 'It's not a matter of 'She could get hurt.' She WILL get hurt. There's no way this turns out well.' Despite pulling the shock event, Bonnie has since had her Only Fans account deactivated with a source telling OK Magazine she has 'taken things way too far.' They added that she had been making 'tens of thousands' via the adult website, with that income ceased after Only Fans 'had no choice but to act' and pull her account. A spokesperson for Only Fans has since said that 'extreme challenge content' is not available or permitted on the website. 'Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation,' they added.
