Rolling in the deep, quite literally. Adele is on vocal rest for the foreseeable future. The “Skyfall” singer broke the news to her fans during her Las Vegas residency that she’s been feeling under the weather.
“In the middle of last night – I’m sure you can hear it in my talking voice and my singing voice a little bit. Your girl was tired. I didn’t sleep very well,” she said during her show over the weekend of February 24, 2024 via Daily Mail. “And Ursula from the ocean has come from my chest tonight. I can’t hit my headnotes properly. I didn’t sleep very well and my chest is on fire. I can tell I’m going to have a coffee in like 10 days, but I’m still here.”
But don’t worry, she’s already having a recovery plan underway. “Straight after this show I am going on voice rest. Can you imagine how hard now me not talking for three days is? So I’m going to be in bed coughing my guts up on complete voice rest,” she said. Her family is also in support, but she acknowledged they could put a wrench in the plans. “And not only is my partner an absolute chatterbox, so is my son. So I am going to have to lock myself in a cupboard or something like that.”
Because of the bedrest, she had to put a halt to her regular life. “I made very solid plans with my gay friends, they were going to come round to my house. We were going to light a fire, maybe have a spritzer, which obviously now I can’t have – dammit. ‘And we were going to sit down and watch the new JLo movie, which I’ve been so excited about. B**ches f**king made other plans. They already have plans. And they have left me on read.”
Adele‘s vocal cords have gotten some press more than a decade ago. In 2011, Adele underwent surgery for a recurrent hemorrhaging caused by a benign polyp on her vocal cord. Adele is scheduled to perform the next weekend of March 1 and 2, so hoping she we’re wishing her a speedy recovery over the weekend!
