In 2011, the singer underwent vocal cord surgery to remove a benign polyp. Luckily, the surgery went well and she even gave her surgeon a shoutout at the 2012 Grammys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Then, in 2017, she canceled two sold-out concerts at Wembley Stadium, which holds 98,000 people, after straining her vocal cords during the first two shows of the four originally planned.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTo say I\u2019m heartbroken would be a complete understatement,\u201d Adele said at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n After that, in what Adele had said was the worst moment of her entire career, she canceled a planned three-month Las Vegas residency just 24 hours before the first show was set to begin in January 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that she went so public with her feelings has raised alarm bells for people in her world,\u201d the insider says of the singer\u2019s most recent cancellation. \u201cThere\u2019s a feeling that it could be a cry for help and a sign she\u2019s in need of some support,\u201d the source says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s where Rich and her friends and family are coming in to lift her spirits to remind her how great she is and how valued she is<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Adele first started dating super agent Rich Paul<\/a> in the summer of 2021. Adele began sporting a diamond ring in 2022, sparking engagement rumors. On Friday, August 9, Adele confirmed their engagement<\/a> in a viral video of her concert in Munich, Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRich has been cooking her nice dinners and making sure she gets plenty of rest. And her friends have been showing up to just hang with her in her downtime, not demanding anything from her.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNo one really believes she\u2019s going to quit music, they think she just needs a good break, but there are certainly fears for her state of mind so the focus right now is very much on building her back up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
