SINGER Olly Murs has been forced to cancel his shows scheduled for this summer, including a performance in Colwyn Bay.

The 37-year-old was due to perform at the Zipworld Stadium in August, a concert that was postponed from 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But he has now had to undergo major knee surgery and is recovering in hospital.

On Friday, he shared on his Twitter account: "I am gutted to have to write this message but unfortunately, I’ve had to undergo major new knee surgery again this week.

"Been trying my best to avoid having it done but the op was needed and it went well. I’m recovering in hospital.

"But it means I’m having to cancel all my summer shows this year whilst I focus on my rehab.

“Refunds will all be available from your point of purchase and please keep an eye out for any emails from your ticketing agent over the next few days.

"I’m so bloody sorry but my focus now is on recovering and I’ll keep you all updated on how I’m getting on!

"Stay cheeky, catch you soon."
