Olly Murs cancelled concert after 20 minutes

Last night, Olly, 41, was performing on his new tour, 15 Years of Hit, in Glasgow.

However, the star only managed to be on stage for 20 minutes before he abruptly stopped the show.

After performing just five or six songs, Olly was forced to inform the 14,000 strong crowd that his voice had failed him.

“This has never happened to me before but you can hear my voice is going,” he said.

“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,” he then added.

“Sorry from the bottom of my heart. I don’t want to upset you guys. I’m so sorry. We’ll sort out refunds for anyone who’s unhappy. But Glasgow, I’ll be back to see you guys soon. I’m so sorry,” he then said.

“That’s the best I can do, so sorry,” he said as he walked off stage.

Fans were left baffled as the lights then came on and they were instructed to leave by staff.

Olly Murs issues statement after cancelled concert

Following his early exit from the show, Olly took to Instagram to once again apologise to his fans.

In a video for his 4.8 million followers, a visibly emotional Olly explained that in 15 years of showbusiness, he’s never had to cut a show midway through.

“Glasgow I’m so sorry I had to walk off and cancel the show. I’ve never done this in 15 years,” he said.

“Most of the time as singers we can kind of get through it if our voice isn’t 100% and I walked out tonight thinking my voice is great. I felt a little bit rundown but I didn’t think I couldn’t do the show or I wouldn’t have come out,” he then continued.

The star then continued.

“As you can probably hear from my voice it just sounded rubbish and it is unfair for you guys who have spent all that money to come and see me, you deserve the best show and me at my best,” he then said.

“I’m so sorry from the bottom of my heart, hopefully I can recover from this,” he then added.

This isn’t the first time Olly has had to cancel a show due to health issues. Back in February, he was forced to cancel a gig in Dubai, just hours before he went on stage.

It remains to be seen whether Olly will be performing tonight (Friday, May 22) at the AO Arena in Manchester.
