Becoming a parent has prompted him to prioritize presence for his growing family, seeking to bridge a 16-year rift with his twin brother.

Overview

  • He joined Robbie Williams on stage in June and credits the Take That star as a surrogate brother during his estrangement.
  • Murs and wife Amelia Tank are expecting their second child later this year and he vows not to leave home around the birth.
  • He admits to struggling with loneliness after skipping Ben’s wedding to perform on The X Factor semi-final in 2009.
