Adele graces the cover of Cosmopolitan’s December issue, and she looks absolutely beautiful! (Except for those nails, those are terrible!)
You wouldn’t know by looking at her, but Adele has been incredibly sick lately. After canceling numerous tour stops, just last week she announced she would have to cancel her entire tour in order to attend her ailing throat. This led many people to suspect that Adele was suffering from throat cancer, but according to her rep, these rumors aren’t true.
“We would like to reiterate that Adele is to undergo surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal cord. All reports regarding any other condition are 100% false
It may be some comfort to Adele that she seems certain to end 2011 as the world’s biggest-selling artist, but the singer has been forced to cancel all her remaining live dates and promotional appearances for the rest of the year. Earlier this month the Brit award-winner scrapped a 10-date US tour because of a vocal cord hemorrhage and she will now undergo throat surgery.
A spokesperson said that a full recovery is expected but doctors have ordered the 23-year-old to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments. Six UK dates – two in Wolverhampton and one each in Blackpool, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Plymouth – have been cancelled. Ticket holders can expect a refund.
Announcing that she was cancelling her 10 US dates three weeks ago, Adele wrote on her blog: “Guys, I’m heartbroken and worried to tell you that I am yet again experiencing problems with my voice … I follow all the advice I am given and stick to regimes, rules and practices to the best of my ability, but it seems to simply not be enough.”
One specialist doctor, Dr Steven Zeitels, a Harvard professor, told Rolling Stone magazine that he didn’t believe the problem was serious. “It’s very fixable, basically,” he said. “This is not something that’s a deal-breaker, even remotely.”
The singer herself recently told the Sun that her problems were caused not by her vocal technique but by talking too much.
“I damage my voice offstage, not onstage,” she said. “Onstage I am fine as apparently I am technically great, but when I talk I damage my voice big time. I have got screwed into giving up smoking. If I wasn’t a singer I still would be smoking 25 a day.”
Last month, a UK tour was blighted by cancellations and in June she cancelled a US tour because of laryngitis. Fans, however, can still watch the singer in action: next month, she releases a live CD and DVD, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a recording of her London concert on 22 September.
Hopefully Adele is able to make a full recovery! She needs to take care of that voice so she can record another album and tour again!
Get better!
