Olly Murs announces huge UK arena tour including Manchester date
Look who's back.
Olly Murs is back (did he ever go away? Apparently so) with a new album and a massive UK arena tour.
The former X Factor alumni will be heading up to Manchester for a night on his 2023 tour.
Now newly-signed with EMI Records, Olly is set to release his first studio album in more than four years, with Marry Me scheduled for release on 2 December.
The first single from his seventh album is Die Of a Broken Heart.
Olly says of his new song: “It has that steel drum at the intro, which just gets in your head straight away. It has a very Gotye, ‘Somebody I Used to Know’ feel to it, with a touch of The Police – and just a coolness to it. That really excited me.”
The singer burst into the scene with a self-titled debut back in 2010, which went double-platinum, and went on to have four number one singles and four number one albums in near back-to-back succession.
Although Olly’s TV career has continued at pace – he’s been the host of ITV’s Starstruck and a judge on The Voice – he’s been off the radar of the music industry for more than four years.
