Olly Murs left fans concerned and disappointed last night after abruptly ending his sold-out Glasgow concert just 20 minutes into the show, citing sudden vocal issues. The unexpected departure from the stage at the OVO Hydro has sparked fresh concerns over the singer's health and left many questioning what might be going on behind the scenes.
The 39-year-old pop star managed to perform just five songs before stepping forward to address the packed arena. In a heartfelt but hoarse statement, Murs told fans: “My voice has gone. This has never happened to me before but you can hear my voice is going. 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.”
The announcement was met with stunned silence before the house lights were brought up and staff began ushering the audience out. Some fans, who had paid upwards of £57.55 for tickets, expressed frustration on social media, while many others shared messages of concern and support for the singer’s wellbeing.
This is not the first time Olly Murs has had to cancel a show in Glasgow. Fans may recall that he pulled out of his supporting slot for Take That in May 2023, also at the last minute. While the reason for that absence was never officially confirmed, the recurrence of last-minute cancellations in the same city has led to mounting speculation.

The singer, known for his energetic live performances and affable stage presence, is currently in the middle of his UK tour. Last night’s event was meant to be a high point in the schedule, and fans had travelled from across the country to see him live. A spokesperson for the Hydro said that ticket holders should await further updates regarding rescheduling or refunds.
Neither Murs nor his management team have issued an official update on his condition as of this morning. However, insiders suggest that he may be suffering from a severe bout of laryngitis or vocal strain, both of which can be triggered by the demanding nature of live touring.
Fans are now hoping that Murs takes the time he needs to recover fully before returning to the stage. Many have flooded social media with messages like, “Health first, Olly. We’ll be here when you’re ready,” and “Gutted but your health is more important.”
As the pop star rests and seeks treatment, the entertainment world watches closely, will this be a minor setback, or a sign of something more serious?
