A POPULAR popstar has been forced to cancel a gig after falling ill. Fans were expecting to see the 40-year-old perform his biggest hits from Troublemaker to Dance with Me Tonight in Dubai. However, singer Olly Murs said he was "so gutted" to have to pull out.

He wrote on Instagram last night: "To everyone here in Dubai, unfortunately due to doctor's orders I am having to cancel tonight's show at Bla-Bla because of a throat infection. "I'm so gutted. I look forward to coming back ASAP and will share new date information as soon as I can! Olly x.".
