The video is a stunning visual opening with Olly singing in a starkly black room, before we enter what appears to be a dream sequence for the bridge where he&#8217;s plummeting downwards through a stormy sky. It&#8217;s like a look inside his mental state as he&#8217;s thinking about the situation, and fits completely with the theme of the song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Olly Murs made a triumphant return last night as a coach on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itv.com\/thevoice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Voice<\/a>, alongside fellow coaches, Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am and Jennifer Hudson, and has also announced a 21 date tour for this May and June, which will see him perform across the UK and Ireland, including two dates in each of Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, and London.
