In an Instagram post, Olly explained his decision, saying: "I've been asking for opinions for days and the answer is always the same: in the end you have to do what you feel. It's important for me to be myself."

He added that, although it may seem like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he decided to continue with his planned concerts, emphasizing that this is his way of making himself heard.

In the end, Olly said: "Music in Italy is full of wonderful artists and this year is the most sincere proof of that."

Lucio Corsi, who followed Olly in the rankings by a small margin of 0.45%, will have the honor of representing Italy at Eurovision 2025.
