Olly Murs abandons live show just 20 minutes in: 'I can't go on'
Olly Murs left the stage after just five songs tonight, telling the packed arena that he 'couldn't go on' due to ill health. The 2009 X Factor star has been performing across the country with his 15 Years of Hits tour, supported by boyband Blue. Olly, 41, is famous for his energetic concerts, bursting with cheeky dance moves and all his upbeat tunes, from Dance With Me Tonight to Troublemaker. However, while on stage in Glasgow, Scotland, this evening, he had to make an unfortunate announcement just 20 minutes into the gig. In footage obtained by The Sun, the Dear Darlin' hitmaker can be heard telling the sold-out venue: 'My voice has gone.' Just after battling through Kiss Me Like You Mean It, he explained to the OVO Hydro crowd: 'This has never happened to me before, but you can hear my voice is going. 'I wouldn't wanna continue on and just ruin it for you guys because it's a really great show. I'm really proud of this whole production and how it's looking, how it's sounding, and for some reason, five songs in, my voice is going. 'That's so unlike me, so I just wanna say sorry from the bottom of my heart.' Olly continued: 'I don't wanna upset you guys; I'm so sorry. 'We'll sort out refunds for anyone that's unhappy, but Glasgow, I will be back to see you guys soon. I'm so sorry. I'll see you soon. I love you all.' 'That's the best I can do, so sorry,' he concluded, the audience applauding while he left backstage. Thousands of fans paid upwards of £57 for tickets to Olly's show, which marked his second night at the venue before playing in Manchester tomorrow. One crestfallen fan told the Scottish Sun after his exit: 'We were just getting into it after catching Blue as the support act. 'He sang five songs, then suddenly stopped. He said he'd figure something out, but before we knew it, we were being told to leave. 'There was still at least an hour left—now we don't know what to do with ourselves!' Taking to social media after news of Olly's premature departure began circulating, other fans didn't seem hopeful about his tour continuing, with dates also scheduled for Birmingham, London, and Brighton over the coming days. 'Won't be seeing Olly Murs on Sunday I fear', wrote @cloe_elizabeth1 on X. 'I'm legit so worried! Hope he is ok through. Been to every tour in the last 15 years!', replied @AmyPMarie. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'Olly Murs cut his show short tonight, he only did 5 songs apparently, then looked a bit poorly. Hope he's okay!', tweeted @LittleMeThatter. Urging those criticising Olly to be kind, @katieelizabethx also wrote: 'People moaning at Olly Murs for leaving the stage after 5 songs are acting like they've never had a sick day. I understand it's gutting, but health always comes first. Have a bit of empathy.' Unfortunately, this is the second time Olly's tour has been struck by sickness, as the singer had to cancel two shows last month when a stomach bug 'ripped through' his band. He was also forced to scrap a gig in Dubai in February due to a throat infection, which struck him down at the last minute, and had to be replaced as Take That's opener last spring. Olly, who is currently expecting a second child with wife Amelia Tank, worked hard to get in tip-top shape ahead of touring. More Trending Sharing his results via social media before hitting the road, the pop star revealed he had been 'shredding' in the gym for 12 weeks, allowing him to build muscle and transform his physique. Olly's biggest cheerleader, aka his wife, was keen to shower him with compliments, taking to her Insta Story with: 'When he told me he was going to get in the best shape yet for this tour he was not wrong!! 'And there were no shortcuts here… just discipline, hard work and training like a beast. 'So proud of you darlin and can't wait to see you do what you do best whilst looking like something out of Men's Health magazine.' Got a story?

Olly Murs asks 'shall I go?' as he's booed by crowd after on-stage admission
Olly Murs brought the house down at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena this week with a performance that left fans both emotional and dancing along. At one point, however, the 40-year-old Essex-born star, currently on his 15 Years of Hits tour, had the crowd booing after he let his cheeky chappy side show while interacting with the audience at his sold-out gig. Midway through his energetic set, the former X Factor contestant stopped the show to reveal a Liverpool FC sign on the big screens, which inevitably sent his Evertonian fans into a frenzy. The chart-topping singer was in stitches during the segment where he gives his long-serving band a chance to embarrass him. The former Voice UK judge was quick to tell his Murs Army: 'At this part of the show, I have absolutely no idea what is about to appear on that screen.' To add to the frenzy of the booing crowd, he went on to add: 'This will probably get the biggest boo of the night. I am a Manchester United fan.' The star was cracking up at the louder boos from the audience and jeered, 'Shall I go?'. Thankfully for his paying fans, though, Olly stayed to perform more of his much-loved pop hits. Olly, who shot to fame after finishing runner-up on The X Factor in 2009, has been touring the UK to commemorate 15 years of his music. Wednesday's performance showcased hits from across his career, including Dance With Me Tonight, Dear Darlin' and Heart Skips a Beat, alongside a few of his new tunes. Olly had a major transformation ahead of his UK tour, wowing fans on Instagram as he shared a post showing off his new physique. His six-pack surprised his 4.8million followers as he shared that he is 'pumped and ready to get on the road'.

Olly's Liverpool show follows his recent personal milestone of becoming a father for the first time in April 2023, when he and his wife, Amelia, welcomed their daughter, Madison. Earlier this year, he announced that he's set to become a dad once more, as bodybuilder Amelia expects baby number two. Got a story?
