The shows were originally intended to take place in autumn of 2020 but were then moved to October 2021 and November 2021 before being cancelled once more. Last October, Morissette wrote on Twitter: “Stay tuned for the rescheduled dates (coming very soon), and please hold onto your tickets as they will be valid for the new ones. I can’t wait to see you each as soon as we possibly can.”

The tour is now set to take place in June with Morissette performing across Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester before two huge shows at the O2, London. She will also be supported by the English singer-songwriter Beth Orten known for her unique style of “folktornica” a blend of folk and electronica. The musician shared the news on her social media which you can see below:

The Canadian singer-songwriter has also just released a new song on March 11 called “Olive Branch” via RCA Records UK. It was co-written by Morissette and Michael Farrell, and produced by Michael Farrell and Henrik Jakobsson.

The song is an apologetic and raw piano centric ballad where Morissette reflects on a drama-ridden friendship and apologises for her wrongdoings and offers an “olive branch” to her friend. The “Ironic” singer vocalises these feelings with the words “I’m so sorry, And mea culpa, I’m reaching out to make amends.”  Fans may get to hear the latest release on the tour and you can check out the track here:

The singer provided the following statement concerning the cancellation of his tour, “I am absolutely gutted to have to cancel my summer tour this year, but unfortunately I’ve had to have new major knee surgery. I’m devastated I won’t be performing these shows, and can only apologise for any inconvenience caused. Rest assured I will be fighting fit for new music later this year!”

Murs’ tour was meant to start on 10th June 2022 with a performance at Belfast’s Botanic Gardens and included a set at London’s Royal Chelsea Hospital. The Essex born singer was then set to return to his home county for a performance at Norwich’s Blickling Estate on 12th July 2022. The twenty-one-date tour was then to conclude on 4th September 2022 at Stoke On Trent’s Trentham Gardens. The tour also included a performance at the legendary Edinburgh Castle on 8th July 2022, the set was part of this year’s Castle Concerts series.

The “Troublemaker” singer’s cancelled tour was to be his sixth headlining tour. Murs last hit the road in 2019 for the You Know I Know Tour. The tour was in support of the singer’s most recently released album, You Know I Know. The singer’s sixth studio album was released on 9th November 2018 via RCA and Sony, and garnered commercial success and peaked at number two within the UK album charts.

In other news, Murs was left wordless during this Saturday’s episode of the ITV talent show Starstruck. Within the show, the host was presented with three contestants who took the stage to pay tribute to the singer. The trio of Olly Murs lookalikes proceeded to perform the singer’s greatest hits, after the performance the real Murs appeared to be impressed. Murs told the hopefuls, “I’m lost for words, best team of the night, I’m lost for words. I’m absolutely sweating, it’s so weird.”

Further information concerning the cancellation of the tour and if the performances will be rescheduled has not yet been released. Fans who purchased tickets for the cancelled shows can request a refund via the platform used to purchase the tickets.
