"I don't know if I will ever tour again. The only reason I tour is you," she said to her fans. She played the first two Wembley shows on Wednesday and Thursday and fans were delighted Cate Sevilla @CateSevilla It took like 2 years of crying and failing in online ticket queues, but last night I FINALLY saw @Adele and it was 100% worth the wait. 09:22 AM - 29 Jun 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite But on Saturday morning fans expecting to see what might be Adele s final shows ever woke up to some terrible news — damage to her vocal cords means Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining Wembley gigs on medical advice Adele @Adele 11:40 PM - 30 Jun 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite The full statement published on Adele s social media channels and website reads as follows I don’t even know how to start this. The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life. To come home to such a response after so long away doing something I never thought I could pull off but did has blown me away. However, I’ve struggled vocally both nights. I had to push a lot harder than I normally do. I felt like I constantly had to clear my throat, especially last night. I went to see my throat doctor this evening because my voice didn’t open up at all today and it turns out I have damaged my vocal cords. And on medical advice I simply am unable to perform over the weekend. To say I’m heart broken would be a complete understatement. I’m already maxed out on steroids and aids for my voice. I’ve considered doing Saturday nights show but it’s highly unlikely I’d even make it through the set and I simply can’t crumble in front of you all and walk out on you in that way. I’m so desperate to do them that I’ve even considered miming, just to be in front of you and be with you. But I’ve never done it and I cannot in a million years do that to you. It wouldn’t be the real me up there. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for your disappointment. I’m sorry for the nights you would have had with your loved ones and the memories you would have made together. I’m sorry for the time and money you’ve spent organizing your trips. You know I would not make this decision lightly. I have done 121 shows and I have 2 left. 2 left!!! And they are 2 gigantic shows! Who the fuck cancels a show at Wembley Stadium!? To not complete this milestone in my career is something I’m struggling to get my head around and I wish that I wasn’t having to write this. I have changed my life drastically in every way to make sure I got through this tour that started at the beginning of last year. To not be able to finish it, is something I’m really struggling to come to terms with. It’s as if my whole career has been building up to these 4 shows. I’m writing this as the decision has just this moment been made, so I don’t have any other information, but of course refunds will be available if the shows can’t be rescheduled. There will be more information over the next few days. I’m sorry, I’m devastated. I’m sorry. I love you I’m so sorry, please forgive me x Fans were understandably distraught with some having booked hotels and travel to make it to the shows Sanjay Sood-Smith @sanjaysoodsmith Me finding out that @adele has cancelled her last two Wembley shows when I was supposed to go see her tomorrow 12:08 AM - 01 Jul 2017 Reply Retweet Favorite LuCaS :D @LucasMackintosh @geemickdee @Adele So so gutted but I'd be more gutted if she mimed or had to leave the stage early!
