Adele cancels US tour due to illness

Adele is once again having to curb her U.S. tour, this time due to a hemorrhaged vocal chord.

The Grammy Award-winning siren was scheduled to perform at the Durham Performing Arts Center Oct. 8. Refunds may be obtained at the point of purchase.

“Singing is literally my life — it’s my hobby, my love, my freedom and now my job,” Adele wrote on her blog. “I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever.”

Adele’s doctors advised the singer that she’d need to rest for an extended period to begin to recuperate properly.

“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,” Adele wrote.

The big-voiced British singer-songwriter previously had to postpone a string of North American dates due to a bout with laryngitis.

Adele has been riding high since the release of her sophomore studio album, 21, in January of this year. The album has yielded the chart-topping single “Rolling in the Deep,” which has already been covered by Mike Posner, John Legend and Linkin Park.

The single was also performed on American Idol by Haley Reinhart, and The Voice by Vicci Martinez and Angela Wolff.

21 is the follow-up to 2008′s 19, which yielded the Grammy Award-winning single “Chasing Pavements.” The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and has remained in the top three for 17 weeks.
