The Real Reason Olly Murs Walked Off Stage After 20 Minutes
This happened after struggles with the singer's voice. He had performed Kiss Me Like You Mean It when he made the confession to the 14,000 capacity Ovo Hydro venue: 'My voice has gone,' he said. 'I'm going to come back, but I need to go now.' The arena was reportedly left in silence and the lights went up.
Afterwards, Murs took to Instagram to share a heartfelt apology, telling fans 'from the bottom of my heart' he was 'so sorry.' In the emotional video, Murs says: 'I've never done this in 15 years,' continuing 'most of the time, as singers, you can get through it if your voice is not 100%. I walked out tonight thinking my voice is great, 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.'
He added that he is planning on seeing a doctor that evening ahead of shows in Manchester, Birmingham and London over the weekend. 'It's unfair for you guys who spent all that money to come and see me, you deserve the best show,' he said. 'Hopefully, I can recover from this.'
This isn't the first time Murs has had to cancel a gig. Last month, he took to social media to tell fans that gigs in Hull and Brighton were not going ahead, thanks to a stomach bug which had also 'ripped through' his band.
He wrote on Instagram: 'I hate that I have to write this & really so sorry to let you guys down, but unfortunately, we are having to reschedule our next two shows in Brighton & Hull. 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,' adding '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.'
Earlier this year, Olly shared the sweet news that he is expecting a second child with his wife Amelia. They welcomed their first child last year. Murs shared an insight into how he was finding life as a new dad with Mark Wright on their Heart Breakfast show, confessing: 'It was really hard for me as I had to leave two days after the baby was born to go on tour with Take That.' He continued: 'I didn't really process it at the time and a few months later me and Amelia were chatting and I just broke down in tears as I never got a chance to actually get to know this little baby.'

Marking the first time the NFL star has featured the pop sensation on his social media, the pair appeared smitten in the series of pictures. However there was one snap in particular that caught fans eyes after they went wild over Travis' lock screen snap of the two of them. Taylor appeared to flaunt her ring finger in the grainy snap as fans speculated over whether Travis has popped the question. They penned: 'travis's lockscreen is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged ??????'; 'Not to be that person but in his lock screen is she holding up her hand with a ring on her finger'; 'is it an engagement photo???' Others wrote: 'yes.. yes i did zoom into his lockscreen'; 'yes, I did blow up picture number 3 to see a picture of both of them on his iPhone!!!'; 'THE LOCK SCREEN !?' 'Is Taylor Swift engaged to Travis Kelce? Fans are swooning over Travis' lockscreen' 'everyone pointing out his lock screen is a photo of them but i also think hers is too like literally she deserves the world…' Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Taylor also had a snap of her and Travis as her screensaver as they notice a glimpse of the black and white jumper he wore during their trip to Lake Como together in May 2024. The pair have been together for two years and a source recently told that the couple are 'all in' and her parents are prepared to give their blessing. Meanwhile last month speculation reached a new high after a friend of the couple gave a clue the couple had secretly tied the knot. The couple were on the guest list to celebrate the marriage of Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz. And Kmet's event planner, Ellie Nottoli, shared behind-the-scenes details from the wedding, including a photo of an invitation letter that was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce.'

'It's not that weird. it's solely for aesthetic purposes.'; 'Technically it should be Travis and Taylor Kelce'; 'That's usually standard for weddings i believe.'

Strictly star slams ‘manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe
Keep scrolling to see what the star had to say star swipe Strictly star slams 'manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe A FORMER Strictly star has branded the TV industry as 'manipulative' after quitting fame for OnlyFans. John Whaite rose to fame after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2012. 4 TV star John Whaite has competed in Strictly and Great British Bake Off Credit: PA 4 He danced with Johannes Radebe on Strictly Credit: PA 4 The star returned to OnlyFans earlier this year Credit: Instagram The 36-year-old later competed on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing as runner-up behind Rose Ayling-Ellis. Speaking to Gay Times Magazine, John opened up about his experiences in the TV industry. The baker and presenter said: "I think the deeper conversation here is about welfare generally within the TV industry. I think that is still very much an elusive beast. "As soon as Strictly finishes, it's like, get out the hotel, get out the flat, go home, but that is a life- altering event for the individual who's been subject to the headlines, often at the hand of these shows, because these shows sometimes feed stories to the media. "TV is manipulative and it's a distortion of truth, there's always an ulterior motive. "People aren't being fed the unadulterated, objective truth. And I certainly don't subscribe to that." Continuing, John recounted how he was "around 23" during his time on Bake Off. He recalled thinking his "existence hinged on being successful in television." John added: "But I think when you go through all these different permutations of your life, you start to realise that the b******t just does not matter. "What actually matters is your health, your sanity, your loved ones, your family, be it biological or chosen." Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' Elsewhere in the interview, John revealed a family member had called him "disgusting" due to his OnlyFans content. The Sun previously revealed how he made a return to the platform earlier this year. The star had been posting a series of very explicit videos and images for his legion of subscribers on the adult-only website. Sources close to the star – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on Strictly - said: 'John has been telling friends he feels really empowered by posting what he wants. 'He's in amazing shape and is proud of how far he has come. 'He's says it really has nothing to do with money and it's not about helping fund his bakery business. 'John doesn't care what anyone else thinks. "He's really happy with the content he is creating.'
