Adele cancels U.S. tour

While Frank Ocean announced that he will bless the U.S. with solo shows on select dates, Adele has cancelled her upcoming 10-city U.S. tour due to a hemorrhage in her vocal cords. The British songstress had postponed several shows on her UK tour last month because of voice problems. Now, the problem seems to have reappeared so that she had to cancel the second set of U.S. shows this year. A spokesperson for the singer revealed:

“Adele has been advised by doctors that she’ll need an extended rest period in order to begin to recuperate properly.Further details to follow regarding these cancelled dates. Refunds may be obtained at point of purchase.”

Adele has recently expressed her regretfulness about the cancellatiom:

“Singing is literally my life, it’s my hobby, 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.

Wanting to do something so bad and not being able to is the most frustrating thing as I’m sure you know! 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 over all 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.”
