The Dance With Me Tonight hitmaker, 41, brought his 15 Years of Hits tour to the M&amp;S Bank Arena in the Merseyside city after originally rising to fame on <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"X Factor \" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/x-factor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X Factor<\/a> in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Olly originally placed runner up to winner Joe McElderry, but went on to carve out a career in pop for himself with hits like Troublemaker and Heart Skips A Beat. Things turned awkward on stage, however, as Olly performed for his \u2018Murs Army\u2019 that packed out the venue.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Liverpool Echo, Olly passed things over to his band and offered them the opportunity to \u201cembarrass\u201d him in front of his live audience. He told the crowd: \u201cIn this part of the show, I have absolutely no idea what is about to appear on that screen,\u201d while gesturing to the big screen behind him.<\/p>\n<p>The chosen picture was one of him posing alongside the huge This Is Anfield sign outside <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Liverpool FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool FC<\/a>\u2019s football ground \u2013 which divided the audience of Liverpool versus Everton fans.

I am a <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Manchester United FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> fan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After receiving jeers from the crowd, Olly was giggling as he offered: \u201cShall I go?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were reportedly several emotional moments in the gig, too, as he remembered his X Factor co-star Caroline Flack while performing Dear Darling. He told fans: \u201cI genuinely think about her every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that feeling of losing someone that you love very much. With this song, I want you to think of those people and sing with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olly also performed his new single Save Me, explaining he is welcoming the start of a \u201cnew Murs era\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olly Murs was booed on stage in Liverpool after making one admission \u2013 and offered to leave the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,1467,94,179,763,423,269,10581,49839,49843,49840,49842,49841,16,15,14283],"class_list":{"0":"post-109474","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-everton-fc","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-fc","13":"tag-manchester-united-fc","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-olly-murs","16":"tag-olly-murs-booed","17":"tag-olly-murs-football-team","18":"tag-olly-murs-liverpool","19":"tag-olly-murs-tickets","20":"tag-olly-murs-tour","21":"tag-uk","22":"tag-united-kingdom","23":"tag-x-factor"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114524168218936410","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
