In a world where following trends make you “cool.” In a world where we all try to fit in, very few stand out. She may look normal from the outside, but she is much different within. Her powerful, uplifting and breathtaking vocals have made her a leader in today’s pop culture.
Adele, 23 years old has risen to great success, gaining tons of radio time and selling out shows across the world.
In the prime of her career, her amazing voice has been a gift and a curse. Adele cancelled the remaining gigs on her tour. Austin, Orlando, Miami and Nashville are a few among the canceled shows.
Adele is having throat surgery. Rumors quickly spread. It was once thought that the British singer had throat cancer. Adele insured her fans that the rumor was completely false. To set the record straight, her reps have released a statement, saying: “We would like to reiterate that Adele is to undergo surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal chord. All reports regarding any other condition are 100% false.” (Perezhilton.com, 2011)
She will recover quickly, but it’s very unfortunate that the remaining 2011 tour dates have been canceled.
Adele reaches out to her fans on her website with a sincere apology:
“im still not well enough. i woke up feeling a bit better but not by a lot, but decided to head towards cardiff anyway in the hope id be able to sing tonight. half way there i realised it was unrealistic and so have come back home to rest. i apologise profusely, i know many of you would have travelled to cardiff today for the show. im so so sorry! i need to wait until the infection has cleared up, theres no use battling through it because itll only make me weaker. im still breathless and my chest is disgusting. believe me im doing everything i can to get better asap i promise. its a bug and i have to wait til its gone. im not doing half hearted performances for anyone. if i try do a show like this itll be rubbish and i wont be coming back this year and i dont want leave you like that. if i postpone ill come back very soon when im well and do it how i normally do it! please forgive me, i hate cancelling things as you know. this has nothing to do with my throat before. im sure lots of you feel like this as well, its going round. see you very soon adele xx”
2012 better watch out. Adele will be back, and better than ever. When her tickets go on sale, I’ll definitely be one of the first ones in line. Adele, get well soon!
