Adele Cancels Whole US Tour Due To Vocal Cord Issues

Oh. This is a blower!

Adele has canceled her upcoming U.S. tour due to a hemorrhage in her vocal chord, the singer and her label announced Tuesday. Set to kick off Oct. 7 in Atlantic City and positioned to cover much of the South and Texas over ten dates, the tour was sold out. In a statement, Columbia Records said Adele's doctors advised her to rest her voice for an "extended rest period."

On her website, Adele was a bit more blunt. "My voice is weak and i need to build it back up," she said. "I'm gonna be starting up vocal rehab as soon as, and start building my over all stamina in my voice, body and mind."

Riding high following a transcendent performance at the MTV VMAs and enjoying another Hot 100 hit with "Someone Like You" (currently at No. 2), Adele promises to "smash the ball out of the park" once she's back on the road. Her full statement:

"singing is literally my life, its my hobbie, 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 im 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 im gonna smash the ball out the park once im touring again. i apologise from the bottom of my heart, sincerely i do. i know its not only disappointing because of the show, but its plane tickets, hotel bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted. but please have faith in me that this is the only thing i can do to make sure i can always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability. truly yours and yours only forever, adele xx"

Adele Is DIVINE On "British VOGUE"

MY GAWWWD...That Face is EVERYTHING!!! WHEW....

23 year old pop phenom Adele graces the October 2011 issue of British VOGUE magazine:

On her relationship history:

“I do get massively distracted when I’ve got someone in my life, which I can’t afford to do right now. Besides, no one treats me as well as I do.”

Ha! Ladies, we can all attest to this eh?

On wanting to have boys when it's her time:

“I’ve always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I ever have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.”

On how she prepares for a show:

“I puke quite a lot before going on stage. Though never actually on stage. But then, I s— myself before everything … the bigger the freak-out, the more I enjoy the show!”

I think I LOVE her a little bit more now!

On the industry's obsession with weight:

“I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life. I have insecurities, of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.”
