In an Instagram post, he said: 'To everyone in Glasgow last night, I want to start by saying sorry.
'What happened last night has never happened to me before and I'm truly gutted and upset about it.
'In 15 years I've never had to leave the stage after 30 minutes into a show, but my voice was failing me.
'I was panicking and worrying on what to do which gave me no choice but to address it. The thought of upsetting people and letting you the fans down has hit me hard today.
'Speaking in front of you last night and seeing people upset was hard to see but from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry but I had to put my health first.'
He added: 'To everyone in Manchester and Birmingham I'm deeply sorry but I am unfortunately going to have to cancel my shows there this weekend.
'I have contracted a respiratory infection and have been instructed to go on a strict 48 hour voice rest by the doctor to ensure no further damage to my vocal chords.
'I've been having the best time on this tour and I'm so sorry to let my fans down, I'm hoping to be fighting fit in a few days to finish this amazing 15 year celebratory tour with a bang.'
Murs previously apologised for walking off stage in a video on his Instagram story and said he would be seeing a doctor soon.
He is due to perform at London's O2 on Sunday as part of his 15 Years Of Hits – Live 2025 tour, during which he has performed alongside special guest Blue on selected dates.
This summer he will perform in cities and towns including Bristol, Reading and Lincoln.
Murs said all fans who bought tickets to the cancelled shows will be 'refunded directly from their point of purchase'.
'This will happen automatically over the next week,' he said.

Millie Bobby Brown Debuts a Fresh Hair Look in a Sparkly Pink Push-Up Bra
Millie Bobby Brown has seemingly gone back to brown hair. In a new Instagram post, she wore her brunette hair in a low bun along with a sparkly pink bra. Brown has recently sported bleached blonde hair.I'll be perfectly honest, I can't always keep up with Millie Bobby Brown's hair. Remember when she seemingly went through four hair transformations in the space of one month earlier this year? Well, apparently she's still just as playful and experimental as ever. Earlier this week, she was sporting a cute wavy blonde bob. Two weeks ago, she had a brunette bob. Three weeks ago, her hair was long and blonde. Five weeks ago, it was a dark shade of brown. As of June 21, the short brunette hair seems to be back. In her latest post on Instagram, the Stranger Things actress wore her short brunette hair in a side part and a low bun, with a few pieces hanging by her face on one side. She captioned the post simply "oh boy," which I can't help but think is a reference to the opening of Sabrina Carpenter's new single, "Manchild." After all, the actress also posted a video of herself dancing to the song on her Stories around the same time. In the photo, Brown wore a silky pink top with a deep scoop neck, showing off a pink bra with cute lace, sequin, and bow details. She kept the pink theme going with baby pink nails, a pink ring, and a swipe of pink blush. It is, as they say, giving girlhood. Brown, who has posted several recent clips and images on social media with blonde hair, recently spoke about the bleached look on the Call Her Daddy podcast. "People are so shocked about it," she said, adding, "I just think I look really different to what people are usually seeing me as. It's so fun." Read the original article on InStyle

Jam expert Donna Collins trashes Meghan Markle's As Ever apricot spread: ‘There's no excuse for this'
The queen of jam has spoken. Jam expert Donna Collins trashed the new apricot spread from Meghan Markle's As Ever lifestyle brand. 'It's a real disappointment that Meghan is selling a fruit spread, which is what you make when your jam fails,' Collins said, according to the Daily Mail. 9 Donna Collins. The Jelly Queens 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. Netflix 'In the jam industry a spread is what we call something that didn't work,' the Jelly Queens owner continued. 'It can have the best ingredients, but if I had a jam that was too runny, I'd slap a label on it and call it a spread.' 'There's no excuse for this,' Collins added. 'It should be perfect.' 9 Meghan Markle in an Instagram video. @meghan/Instagram 9 Meghan Markle making jam with her daughter, Lilibet. The 'MasterChef' alum, who has reportedly won over 40 world championship honors in jam-making competitions, also called out Markle, 43, for her 'conventionally grown apricots, which will have used pesticides.' 'And why is she using pectin, which is a gelling agent, unless it's because her spread was too runny?' Collins asked. 'Most spreads don't use pectin.' 9 Meghan Markle's homemade jam. @heatherdorak/Instagram On Friday, Markle released her new apricot spread in an individual jar for $9 and keepsake packaging for $14. Both items quickly sold out. 'Her apricot spread sold out in minutes, just like her earlier raspberry spread, which may mean they only made a small batch,' Collins surmised. 'I don't know who's making her spread,' the jam guru continued, 'but we all know it's not Meghan. It sounds like they really don't know what they are doing.' 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. meghan/Instagram The Post has reached out to Markle's reps for comment. Markle revealed her plans to sell homemade jam after announcing her own lifestyle company last year. The 'Suits' alum even sent out lemon-filled gift baskets containing fresh fruit jam to 50 of her friends last summer. 9 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles.
