Olly Murs Cancels Manchester, Birmingham Shows Due to Illness

Pop star Olly Murs was forced to cancel his Glasgow show after only performing six songs due to a respiratory infection that caused him to lose his voice. Following the cancellation, he also called off his upcoming shows in Manchester and Birmingham, apologizing to fans and explaining that he was advised by doctors to take strict voice rest to avoid further damage. Fans expressed frustration over the last-minute cancellations, especially those who had traveled or made accommodations for the concerts. Refunds for the cancelled shows will be issued automatically from points of purchase. Murs, who is on his 15 Years of Hits tour with support act Blue, expressed deep regret over the cancellations, emphasizing his love for performing and his disappointment at having to prioritize his health. Liverpool Football Club, unrelated to Murs' situation, also made headlines by cancelling tickets of a fan accused of facilitating ticket touting and refusing a refund, citing a zero-tolerance policy on ticket touting.
