Olly Murs has apologised after being forced to cancel his upcoming concerts in Hull and Brighton due to a severe stomach bug affecting his band and crew. The singer, 40, announced the postponements on Instagram, expressing his disappointment at letting fans down.
Explaining the situation, Murs said the gastroenteritis bug had 'ripped through' his team, making it impossible to perform. He assured fans that a 48-hour break would allow everyone to recover before rescheduling the dates as soon as possible.
The cancellations come just days after Murs and his wife Amelia, 32, revealed they are expecting their second child. The couple, who welcomed daughter Madison 11 months ago, shared the news on Instagram with a video showing Madison in a 'BIG SIS' jacket.
Murs admitted the pregnancy was a shock, saying they hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. Speaking on his Heart radio show, he confessed to struggling with the demands of touring while being a new father, having returned to work just two days after Madison's birth.
Fans have been supportive of Murs's decision, wishing him and his team a speedy recovery. The singer thanked them for their understanding and promised to deliver news of rescheduled dates soon.
