Adele cancels US tour due to haemorrhaged vocal cord
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 6 October 2011
Adele has cancelled her US tour for the second time this year, due to ongoing vocal problems. The singer was forced to cancel dates earlier this year due to a bout of laryngitis. She was ordered to rest her voice in June, but was given the all clear to head out on a run of UK dates a month later.
She was due to play the first of ten rescheduled US shows later this week, but has now announced that all the shows will have to be cancelled after she suffered a haemorrhage in a vocal cord.
“I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever”, the singer said in a statement. “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”.
She continued: “My voice is weak and I need to build it back up. I’m gonna be starting up vocal rehab as soon as, and start building my overall stamina in my voice, body and mind. I will be back and I’m gonna smash the ball out the park once I’m touring again. I apologise from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do”.
