Just like the little mermaid singer, Ariel...Adele has been put on the silent treatment...Thank God, it ain't Ursula, the sea witch's fault this time around.
Singer-songwriter, Adele has been forced by impending surgery to cancel all her remaining tour dates and promotional appearances through the end of the year, her record label said on Friday.
Columbia Records said in a statement that Adele, 23, was cancelling the appearances with "deep regret."
"She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate" before resuming work commitments, the statement said.
Yes, it's confirmed that Adele is undergoing surgery on her vocal chords – but it's not because she has cancer, as some have speculated.
"We would like to reiterate that Adele is to undergo surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal chord," her rep said in a statement Monday in response to rumors on Twitter that the British singer has throat cancer. "All reports regarding any other condition are 100% false."
Adele, 23, has subsequently canceled the remainder of her North American tour, in addition to several dates in the U.K. The Grammy-winning singer pulled out of 10 US dates on the back of her hit album 21 that has produced hits such as Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You.
21 is the best-selling album of the year in the United States.
She also cancelled her remaining British dates and Ticket holders will receive refunds.
Adele was forced to postpone several US dates earlier this year due to vocal chord issues and was finishing up a tour in Britain when problems reappeared in early October.
The Grammy winner, who released her chart-topping sophomore album 21 in February, has previously expressed her disappointment, blogging on Oct. 4, "I'm heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again I'm experiencing problems with my voice."
The singer's surgery is imminent, and doctors have ordered her to rest before performing again, while a statement on her official website says that "a full recovery is expected."
