Laryngitis forces Adele to cancel U.S. tour dates (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Billboard) – British singer Adele has scrapped the remaining nine dates of her sold-out North American tour due to laryngitis.

She already had postponed five shows under doctor's orders following her recent diagnosis. While resting in Los Angeles, she met with an Otolaryngology specialist who determined it was imperative that she take the next few weeks to recover.

"I'm really frustrated. I was hoping with a week's rest I'd be better to sing again straight away," she said in a statement Friday. "However there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctor's advice and rest some more. I'm so sorry. See you soon, love Adele."

Plans to reschedule the canceled tour dates will be provided when available.

NEW YORK – British singer Adele has postponed five dates on her tour of North America due to laryngitis.

Columbia Records said in a statement Monday the 23-year-old Grammy winner was diagnosed last Thursday in Minneapolis, where doctors ordered immediate rest. Her show was canceled and rescheduled for June 22.

She performed in Denver on Saturday, but her show in Salt Lake City on Sunday was canceled at the last minute "when her illness worsened."

The tour will resume June 4 in San Francisco.

Performances in Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, British Columbia, were also postponed and will be rescheduled.

Adele's new album, "21," has been at the top of the music charts in the U.S.

Adele cancels North American dates due to laryngitis (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) – British singer Adele has postponed five dates of her North American tour due to laryngitis, she said on her website, frustrating fans in the United States where she has dominated charts in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old Grammy-winning artist was diagnosed with the throat complaint last week in Minneapolis, forcing her to cancel a performance at the last moment.

Adele returned to the stage in Denver at the weekend, but the comeback proved too early and she was forced to call off Sunday night's gig in Salt Lake City.

She postponed a show on Tuesday in Vancouver, Canada, and will also reschedule performances in Seattle and Portland due later this week. According to her website, the tour will resume on June 4 in San Francisco.

Adele's album "21" has sold around two million copies in North America, almost matching its UK tally and making her one of the few British artists who has enjoyed major chart success on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Londoner was recently voted the most powerful force in British music by the Guardian newspaper.
