Everyone loves Adele, so when she announces that a show will be postponed, everyone gets as teary as they would listening to her belt out Someone Like You. Based on the news, she is delaying ten dates this month for the Weekends With Adele residency “on doctor’s orders,” here is a brief history of the times that Adele has postponed shows.
Adele postponed a string of shows in America because she needed to have throat surgery in 2011
Adele went under the knife to fix an issue caused by a benign polyp on her vocal cord and, therefore, could not do the US of her tour. Adele wrote on her blog that she was “heartbroken and worried” about the problem.
“It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011. She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat, and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments,” a statement from her team read.

Adele cut short a four-day stint after two performances at the stadium in London via online letter to fans, writing that she didn’t “even know how to start this” before detailing that she had to “push a lot harder than” she typically would.
“To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement,” Adele said before refunding 200,000 people their tickets.
