According to the singer, he had to choose between a trip to Basel for the Eurovision Song Contest and a solo concert tour, because their dates coincided.
I don't think you'll be upset if I postpone my concerts for Eurovision, but I firmly believe that I need to sort out everything that's happening to me before looking to the future to continue my favorite live shows, which I always talk about with infinite pride
He also thanked his fans for their support in the national selection and wished success to the person who will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest instead.
"Some might say I'm giving up on my dream, but I believe I'm just choosing to live it at my own pace," Olly summarized.
Recall
The band Ziferblat with the song "Bird Of Pray" won the national selection for the Ukrainian representative song at the international Eurovision Song Contest 2025 to be held in May in Switzerland. As in previous years, the winner of the selection was determined by the results of the jury (half of the points) and the audience (the other half of the points).
