Adele

Adele’s powerhouse vocals require absolute precision, which made her sudden live performance cancellations on June 28, 2017, deeply tragic. After pushing through two massive shows at Wembley Stadium, the British icon realised her voice was actively tearing. Medical examinations confirmed she had suffered a catastrophic vocal cord hemorrhage. Continuing the final two shows of her tour would have required emergency surgery and risked permanently destroying her world-famous voice, forcing her into an immediate, months-long strict vocal rest.
