Olly Murs surprised unsuspecting fans before his Leeds gig last week with an unexpected private performance.
Murs was performing at Leeds' First Direct Arena on Friday, April 28. But before he went on stage, he appeared unannounced in Sky's new VIP lounge at the arena, where he did an acoustic set for around 200 fans.
Two fans even got a surprise meet and greet with him back stage before he went on for the main act of his 'Marry Me' tour. Murs is also due to perform at the coronation concert this weekend as well as doing his own tour.

Murs said: "It’s such an honour to open the very first Sky VIP lounge. I’m more nervous here than I will be in the arena. This is so cool.”
The surprise concert in the VIP lounge was also attended by Heart FM DJ Pandora Christie, Luke Vernon, Brandon B and Bella Johnson. Lounge passes are available to Sky VIP customers, and more lounges are set to open in arenas around the country.
Joel Keoghan, Head of Brand Partnerships & Activations at Sky said: "We’re thrilled to have Olly open the first of our Sky VIP lounges, he was on amazing form, and we’re delighted that he was able to help reward Sky customers in Leeds with an unforgettable A-list experience. Throughout the year we’ll be opening more Sky VIP lounges, at some of the biggest and best live entertainment venues across the UK, rewarding even more customers closer to where they live.”
