Adele Wembley shows cancelled after singer damages vocal chords

Adele has been forced to cancel the final two shows of her world tour after damaging her vocal cords. The “devastated” singer was scheduled to perform two more nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, but has taken the decision to pull out on medical advice. “To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement,” she wrote wrote in a Twitter post.

The 29-year-old said her first two Wembley shows this week had been “the biggest and best shows of my life”, but that she had struggled vocally.

“I had to push a lot harder than I normally do… it turns out I have damaged my vocal cords,” she explained. “On medical advice, I am simply unable to perform over the weekend.

“I’ve considered doing Saturday night’s show, but it’s highly unlikely I’d even make it through the set and I simply can’t crumble in front of you all and walk out on you in that way.”
