Olly Murs and Ben Murs
The 34-year-old British singer, Olly Murs, has a twin brother named Ben. He first rose to fame when he came in second place on the X factor in the sixth season. Olly shared on The Jonathan Ross Show that he and his brother weren’t in contact for a long time and that he didn’t make it to Ben’s wedding because of a conflict in the X Factor schedule.
Apparently, the entire family was once in a big feud and not on speaking terms. “He made the decision not to speak to the family,” said Olly when asked about his brother. Ben was so adamant about not having contact with his family that he changed his last name. In 2018, Olly shared that he was hopeful that he’d see his brother again.
Alanis Morissette and Wade Imre Morissette
The Canadian-born singer Alanis Morissette has a twin brother named Wade, who is also into music. While his sister has released several albums, that have sold over 75 million copies, Wade has been teaching yoga and performing his own music. His music is a combination of indie rock and pop music with some Sanskrit and English chants.
Although his music style is quite different than Alanis’s, in recent years, Alanis has calmed down her music and is more in tune with her brother’s style. In March 2018, Morissette revealed that she had written 23 new songs. Who knows, maybe the stars will align and the sibling duo will create music together.
