Olly Murs was rushed to hospital for an operation as he apologised to fans for cancelling his summer shows on Friday.

From his hospital bed, the singer shared a number of photographs on Instagram while he was recovering.

In a message, he admitted he was “gutted” to cancel his upcoming gigs in a message to his 3.7million followers.

He wrote: “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!”

Despite the news, the chart-toppper finished off his note in high spirits.

He added: “Stay cheeky catch you soon.”

Among the photographs, one showed the star using his crutches in the hospital room.

Another photo showed his leg in bandages following the surgery.
