The pop star, well known for his hits like 'Dance With Me Tonight', 'Up', and 'You Don't Know Love', made headlines after he ended up stopping his concert just a few minutes into the show. The singer was performing his song 'Kiss Me Like You Mean It' when he made a sudden stop. He quickly clarified to the audience that 'My voice has gone,' as per The Mirror.
This was the 40-year-old pop star's second sold-out show in the city.
Olly explained further that even though he wanted to continue the concert, he couldn't. He shared, 'This has never happened to me before, but you can hear my voice is going. I want to give you the concert you deserve, so I can't go on.'
He concluded his statement with, "I'm going to come back, but I need to go now," and then proceeded to walk off.
The fans of the singer at first had thought they may be playing a joke but later turned furious after the singer, in fact, walked off stage and did not return.
Murs later took to his social media accounts to share an apology regarding his actions. "Glasgow, I am so sorry tonight. So sorry that I had to walk off after six songs and cancel the show. I have never done this in 15 years. Most of the time, as singers, you can kind of get through it if your voice isn't 100 percent, but I walked out tonight thinking my voice was great. I may have felt a little bit rundown, but I didn't think I couldn't do the show because I wouldn't have come out there otherwise.

So, to walk off after six songs, I am so sorry. 15s, and I have never done this."
He concluded his statement with, "As you can hear from my voice, I was sounding rubbish, and it is unfair for you guys to spend all that money to come and see me. You deserve the best show and me being at my best. I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart."
The singer also recently shared that he had to reschedule his shows in Brighton and Hull last month as well.
In a post that he shared online on his social media platforms, Murs detailed and shared how "I hate that I have to write this & am really so sorry to let you guys down, but unfortunately, we are having to reschedule our next two shows in Brighton & Hull.'
He cited a 'gastroenteritis bug' as the reason for why he and his crew were not fit to conduct the show. He shared in his statement that "The gastroenteritis bug I had last night is currently ripping through our band and crew, which makes it impossible to put on a show for you. We'll be taking a break for 48 hours to ensure everyone can be fit and healthy for the remainder of the tour. Thank you for understanding, and we're working hard to bring you news of our rescheduled dates as soon as we can.
Love, Olly x."
