He apologised to his fans, including those who witnessed his voice 'failing' him during a Thursday performance at Glasgow's OVO Hydro.
A post shared by Olly Murs (@ollymurs)
In an Instagram post, he said: 'To everyone in Glasgow last night, I want to start by saying sorry.
'What happened last night has never happened to me before and I'm truly gutted and upset about it.
'In 15 years I've never had to leave the stage after 30 minutes 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. 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.'
He added: 'To everyone in Manchester and Birmingham I'm deeply sorry but I am unfortunately going to have to cancel my shows there this weekend.
'I have contracted a respiratory infection and 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.'
Murs previously apologised for walking off stage in a video on his Instagram story and said he would be seeing a doctor soon.
He is due to perform at London's O2 on Sunday as part of his 15 Years Of Hits – Live 2025 tour, during which he has performed alongside special guest Blue on selected dates.
This summer he will perform in cities and towns including Bristol, Reading and Lincoln.
Murs said all fans who bought tickets to the cancelled shows will be 'refunded directly from their point of purchase'.
'This will happen automatically over the next week,' he said.

Lindsie Chrisley sparks marriage rumors with Instagram name change and loved-up photos in a white dress
Lindsie Chrisley is sparking rumors she's married. The former star of Chrisley Knows Best, 35, shared a carousel of images to her Instagram account. In them, she wore a white dress from Vestique as she walked the sandy beaches of Ponte Vedra, Florida hand in hand with the mystery man. She captioned the post, 'a little preoccupied,' and added a white heart. Eagle eyed fans also noticed she changed her last name on the social media app from Chrisley to Landsman. Her new boyfriend, David Landsman, also shared pics with Lindsie and her son Carter on his Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lindsie Landsman (@lindsiechrisley) Landsman also shared a very sappy sentiment to his Instagram Stories. 'The right person makes you fall in love three times: once with them, once with yourself, and once with life.' He added two pink hearts and a man and woman dancing emojis to his post. David's Instagram bio reads, 'Entrepreneur, Father, Christian, Dual License Expert empowering real estate agents to boost their commission with a mortgage license.' His website says, 'I can scale your real estate business and have a world-class team to support your growth goals. 'If you are a mortgage lender, real estate agent, team leader or brokerage owner, I will increase your productivity and maximize your profits.' They both posted about a weekend trip to Clemson, South Carolina where they took in a Savannah Bananas game with Lindsie's son Carter, 11. There's no word on how long Lindsie and David, who is a father himself, have been together or if they really are married. Lindsie's most recent relationship was with a man named Trent for about a year. They ended their relationship in January 2024. While Lindsie is surely happy her parents have been released from prison, earlier this year, she admitted she hadn't gone to see them since they were put behind bars. Speaking about the tense topic on an episode of her podcast, Southern Tea, in March, she revealed that she hadn't seen to her father Todd for over a year. Meanwhile, she also said she never been to visit her step-mom Julie Chrisley in the more than two years that the reality star was in prison. She candidly stated: 'The last time I visited my dad probably was … was it the beginning of last year? I can't even honestly remember. Lindsie continued: '[Nanny Faye and I] used to go together [to see my dad] when they first went [to prison]. 'It was just like, [a] more comfortable situation for both of us to go [and] stay in a hotel together. I have never been to Lexington to visit Julie.' Todd and his wife Julie were found guilty of committing tax evasion and bank fraud totaling $30 million in June 2022. Chrisley's 12-year sentence was reduced to 10 years, while his wife's seven-year sentence was cut to 14 months. She was a prisoner at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky from January 2023 until her release in June. Lindsie admitted: 'I have not seen my dad in quite some time and I have had no contact. And that's all I'm going to say for that.' Todd welcomed Lindsie and her brother, Kyle, during his first marriage to Teresa Terry and Julie adopted both of them when she and Todd wed.

Gallagher children watch Oasis homecoming gig with Pep Guardiola
More than 70,000 fans filled Heaton Park for the Britpop band's hotly anticipated first gig in Manchester for nearly 16 years on Friday night. Liam's two sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel's three children Anais, 25, Donovan, 17 and Sonny, 14, were with Guardiola at the first of five sold-out shows. Gene, whose mum is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton, shared the image to Instagram, with the caption: 'Pic of the century alright now everyone els f*** off.' A post shared by Gene Gallagher (@genegallagher) The 24-year-old has previously spoken of his friendship with his cousin Anais, and said: 'We're a big happy family.' His uncle Noel told crowds at the homecoming concert that he was aware that 'the boss', referring to Guardiola, the manager of the football team he supports, was in attendance. More than an hour before Oasis took to the stage, fans were filmed singing their own rendition of Live Forever. In video footage posted on social media by the band Cast, one of the support acts, crowds belted the hit out as they awaited the Gallaghers' arrival. At about 8.20pm, the brothers walked onto the stage together to deafening cheers from crowds. Liam held his older brother's hand and raised it, while he had his trademark maracas in his other fist. Greater Manchester Police said the event passed 'without incident', although six men were arrested and in custody for a range of reasons including being drunk and disorderly and on suspicion of drug and fraud offences. Five drones were also seized after breaches of air space restrictions. Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said: 'We are really pleased to say that fans attending the concert tonight have been able to do so safely and without incident. 'We have had an extensive, highly visible presence at the venue and across the city today to ensure everyone's safety, and a dispersal notice covering Heaton Park remains in place until 2am tomorrow morning to allow us to deal with any anti-social behaviour robustly.' Bev Craig, the leader of Manchester City Council, said before the concert on Friday that the city was 'all set to welcome music fans from across the globe' for 'a supersonic string of hometown dates from Liam and Noel'. Councillor Craig added: 'The whole city is going all out to celebrate and help everyone have a good time. We've got some fantastic things going on with a real party atmosphere for everyone to enjoy, whether they have tickets for the Oasis gigs or not.' Manchester, T minus 2 minutes! See you down the front x 📸 @Benwalkertv #OasisLive2025 #heatonpark #cast #Manchester — Cast (@castofficial) July 11, 2025 She urged people without tickets not to travel to Heaton Park, warning that there is 'nothing for them to see or do there', instead suggesting they celebrate the reunion in the city centre. Temperatures were in the high 20s in Manchester on Friday evening and Oasis had told fans to prepare for 'extreme sun and heat'. In a post on social media, the band urged concertgoers to 'wear a (bucket) hat', put on sun screen, stay hydrated, seek shade and look after one another at Heaton Park. The five sold-out shows there follow the band's first comeback gigs in Cardiff last week. After Manchester, Oasis will visit London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. Their reunion announcement came after Noel had quit the band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. The brothers announced the Oasis Live '25 tour last August. While many fans were thrilled, some were left outraged after a number of standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.
