Set to embark on a tour of the United States on October 7th in Atlantic City, Adele announced on Tuesday that she was cancelling all of 10 her performances due to a vocal illness.
The Grammy winner, who sold out all ten of those shows, released a statement on her website, excerpted below:
Guys, im heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again im
experiencing problems with my voice. its ridiculous i know! i cant
believe it myself. i follow all the advice im given and stick to
regimes, rules and practices to the best of my ability but it seems to
simply not be enough. i want you to know the full story about my voice
troubles so bare with me in this long blog.
the fact is i have never been able to fully recover from any of the
problems that ive had and then continue to rest even once im recovered,
because of my touring commitments. ive been offered the chance to not
tour at all to save anything like this from happening again, but i
simply hate letting you down. although now im having to let you down
once again through no fault of my own really. if i continue to pick up
everything before i have properly conquered these problems and nipped
them in the bud. i will be totally and utterly fucked. singing is
literally my life, its my hobbie, my love, my freedom and now my job. I
have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or i
risk damaging my voice forever. i have great confidence in believing you
know how much this upsets me, how seriously i take it and how truly
devastated and annoyed i am by this.
i apologise from the bottom of my heart, sincerely i do. i know its
not only disappointing because of the show, but its plane tickets, hotel
bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted. but please have
faith in me that this is the only thing i can do to make sure i can
always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability.
truly yours and yours only forever, adele xx
