Due to vocal cord damage, Adele has postponed the final two dates of her extensive world tour, including two performances this weekend at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Adele, 29, claimed she visited a throat specialist on Friday evening, who gave her the advice not to perform.

The singer admitted that she “struggled vocally” during her first two performances on Wednesday and Thursday at Wembley stadium, where she appeared both nights in front of a 100,000-person sold-out audience, adding that she “even considered miming.”

Adele wrote on Twitter, “To say I’m heartbroken would be an understatement.”

“I’m already maxed out on steroids and aids for my voice. I’ve considered doing Saturday night’s 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.”

She claimed to have pondered miming at the performances because she was one of the best-selling musicians in the world and was desperate to perform.

“I’ve never done it and I cannot in a million years do that to you,” she said. “It wouldn’t be the real me up there.”

If the gigs couldn’t be rescheduled, Adele promised refunds.

Adele has already been open about how challenging travelling is for her, and on Thursday she gave a hint that she might stop performing live after these Wembley shows.

“Touring is a peculiar thing. It doesn’t suit me particularly well,” read a handwritten message that was included in the performance program on Thursday and that many fans shared on social media.

“I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring,” she said.

“I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home,” she continued.

When they learned that the superstar had to cancel her gigs due to broken vocal chords, disgruntled ticket holders for her final dates at Wembley took matters into their own hands and organized a sing-song in her honor.

Using the hashtag #SingForAdele, her supporters, known as the Daydreamers, planned to gather outside the concert venue at the time they should have been hearing the Hello singer perform and perform their own versions of her songs.

“Adele can’t sing for us, but we can sing for her”, read the social media call for singers.
