Olly Murs sends apology to fans after walking off stage 20 minutes into Glasgow gig
Singer Olly Murs had a night to forget in Glasgow as he was forced to bow out after little more than 20 minutes on stage.

He will be seeking doctor's advice ahead of making decisions on further shows in Manchester, Birmingham and London this weekend.
'Glasgow, I'm so sorry that I had to walk off after six songs and cancel the show,' he said on Instagram Stories. 'Most of the time, as singers, you can get through it if your voice is not 100%.
'But I walked out tonight thinking my voice is great, I maybe felt a little bit run down, but I didn't think I couldn't do the show or I wouldn't have come out otherwise. Olly Murs. Pic: GMCD
'As you can probably hear from my voice, it just sounded rubbish.
'And it's unfair for you guys who spent all that money to come and see me, you deserve the best show, and me being at my best. Hopefully I can recover from this.'
Murs finished as a runner-up on X-Factor back in 2008 before going on to establish a successful jaunt into pop music, with chart-topping hits such as Troublemaker and Heart Skips a Beat releasing during the noughties.

Jessie J had 'worst day so far' since cancer diagnosis
Singer Jessie J has said she had her "worst day so far" since her breast cancer diagnosis, saying she struggled with "panic attacks, tears, big fears, anger and overwhelm". The British music star revealed last week that she had been diagnosed with "early breast cancer" and that she would have surgery after performing at London's Summertime Ball. Taking to Instagram Stories at the weekend, the 37-year-old singer updated her followers, writing: "Honestly, had my worst day so far yesterday since my diagnosis and the busiest three months I have had in years. Work. Toddler. Cancer. Life etc had my mind [drained]. "Panic attacks / tears / big fears/ anger / overwhelm. Bad. And you know what helped? "I ate a corn on the cob. Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend. Instead (sic) mood shift." She added: "Tomorrow is a new day. The [rollercoaster] of cancer is [draining]. I won't be just talking about the highlights. And making jokes all the time. That isn't real life. Goodnight." Returning to Instagram on Monday, the singer shared some more thoughts, writing: "IMO [in my opinion]. It's [key] to acknowledge fear anger sadness panic overwhelm and let it come up and come out. "Holding it in won't make it go away. In any challenging situation in life. "So when I posted what I did yesterday about my current challenge in life, also while making light of the situation. "That was one day in 10 weeks that I just lost it and was completely drowned in all the negative and bed feelings any cancer journey can bring. Which is healthy and needed." "I say this because I have had a lot of people since I posted that say to me things like 'Don't think about the negative' and 'To beat this you have to stay strong', 'Good thoughts only', and don't get me wrong I know all are meant with well intention and love. "But it's sparked me thinking about how interesting it is in what we individually see as being strong is. I have always advocated for being real. Honest in your feelings. We cannot heal what we don't acknowledge." She continued: "So I will cry, I will be scared, I will panic, I will feel all of it for a minute or even a full day. "And then eat a [corn on the cob] or listen to a song that lifts me up or laugh with a friend. And then go and be a mum, and go to work and show up and be what I feel 90% of the time. "Strong, fearless, healthy, and make some jokes about it all because that's my way. But I will not ignore the 10% that is fear and the sadness."

Another user joked: 'HAILEYYY HE GOT HIS PHONE AGAIN.' While someone else insisted: 'I strongly believe that Justin has NO social media team.'

He followed up with: 'I dont think any of us can handle hearing 'You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.' It's not true. "I listened to those fools who told me to work harder.
