Adele postpones tour dates due to laryngitis

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 23-year-old Grammy-winner met with an otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) specialist while resting in Los Angeles, and the specialist determined it was "imperative" that she take the next few weeks off to recover.

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

THR reports that plans to reschedule the shows will be provided when available.
