He said, “I didn’t really expect that to come.”
Murs said he didn’t want to leave the show and the decision is out of his hands.”
“But I don’t want to sit here like other artists might, and shine and gloss this up and say, ‘It was my decision’. I don’t want to do that.

“No. Genuinely, I accept their decision, and they’ll find someone great, I’m sure. But am I going to miss it? Yeah.”
He said he didn’t want to leave The Voice but promised to still tune into the show.
