Adele Cancels Remaining Dates of U.S. Tour

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Jun 3rd 2011 06:20PM

After canceling five shows last week, British singer Adele was forced to cancel the remaining dates of her North American tour due to sickness, the Associated Press reports. The 23-year-old singer is suffering from laryngitis.

In a statement released Friday, the 'Rolling in the Deep' singer said she is "really frustrated" but "there is absolutely nothing I an do but take the doctor's advice and rest some more."

Adele pulled out of a show in Salt Lake City on May 29 on short notice, before postponing gigs in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. Her tour was set to resume in San Francisco on June 4.

After canceling shows last week, she posted the following on her blog: "I hate to cancel, especially at such short notice. I am truly devastated. I'm here in the city and tried to do sound check at the venue, but if I push through it tonight, it'll take me longer to get better and more shows may need cancelling. Please forgive me!"

Adele's sophomore album, '21,' is the best-selling album of the year--selling close to two million units in America. And her single, 'Rolling In the Deep,' is currently No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 charts.

her concerts are sold out in California, I couldnt get tickets the day they went on sale because they sold out so quickly. Not sure what you are talking about

By ibchr

Maybe you don't Lola but all nine shows left on the tour were sold out as was the entire North American leg of the tour. Idiot.

By grapost

99 percent of the time when shows or tours are cancelled it because of low ticket sales. Don't believe the press releases from her management about her being sick and the shows being sold out. They are lying to cover up the embarrasment. This has happened many many times before and they always use the same excuse of the artist being sick to cover it up.

By ibzoner

well grapost, so far 100% of your posts have been wrong so we'll just leave it at that.

Lola????????? Really???? I'm a grandmother and I know who she is and I also LOVE her music! Go to YouTube and check out her songs, you're going to love them :o)

By yeminmoshe

Why is she having problems with her vocals chords? Because she sings, she really belts out a song, like singers used to do in the 40s, 50s, 60s. No Brittney Spears here, Lola.

Her tour is sold our WORLD WIDE!!! I saw her in MIlan at a sold out show. And as if that wasn't enough I flew there specifically to see her, as she was not playing in my area. Not only did I fly in 2 friend from the UK also flew in to see her. So I highly doubt you have any idea what you are talking about. Have you heard her sing? SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!

By CJ

She's only one of the greatest singers on the planet. Oh, and I'm 57 years old and I certainly know who she is.

Looks like Adele tickets are not a hot item, and neither is she.

well any one can sell out a venue that holds 25 people LOL

What's "LOL" is how you laugh at your own lame jokes

By dayhold

Haley can finish the tour and do a great job. Scottie and Lauren can load the equipment.

By Matt

You're telling me that someone who has sold over two million albums, has the number one song on the Billboard charts, and has sold out every venue she's booked isn't popular? I hope you clean up that word vomit before you leave, it's making a huge mess.

By Jasmine

you idiots! her album was number one for 16 weeks so shut the HELL UP

I love Adele! I was turned on to her about 2 months ago, wish I would have known sooner about her. Love her voice. She is unique & soulful. For anyone who knows anything about music, then you know she is great.Get better girl!
