Adele's 21 keeps selling at a monumental pace, but it's not all good news for the British songstress: She has canceled all of her 2011 tour dates in order to undergo throat surgery. Adele twice postponed U.S. tours after suffering from voice problems, most recently laryngitis, and when the doctors' order of vocal rest did not heal the singer's cords, surgery was the only solution. In addition to the canned American dates, six U.K. shows were also axed.

"It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011," a statement on the singer's official site reads. "She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments."

Fortunately for Adele, these last few months of 2011 are relatively quiet in terms of award shows, though she will miss the American Music Awards on November 20th, where she scored a league-leading four nods. While the surgery means she won't be able to further promote 21 for the Black Friday sales surge, she should hopefully be healthy enough to sing at next year's Grammys, where Adele is all but guaranteed at least a half dozen major nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Running in the Deep" and Album of the Year for 21.

Wishing her a speedy recovery. I'm not keeping up with her though she has a very nice voice, and it's nice that the industry is giving someone like her attention.

wow!! wishing her the best. don't lose that gift!!

Get well.

I actually think she knew her voice was in trouble. Why keep up something if something bothers you that much. Luckily it won't affect her potential Grammy performance lol so again, wishing her well.

She's so freaking young to have that throat surgery! I worry for her... Other artists have had it but they are usually in their forties or fifties, not twenties!

She needs vocal training. I also believe she might have nodules that have finally gotten to her. I could tell slight vocal differences between when she first came out and when she put out this album. Plus smoking cigarettes all the time - as it looks like - don't help at all. She should learn from legendary chain smokers like her idols Etta James and Aretha, chain smoking will damage that voice. I just hope whatever advice they give her, she doesn't take lightly. I'm glad she finally decided to do something about it. That's all that matters.

Yes, it is VERY important that she take care of it now and listen to doctors. In her case, because she is so young, she has no tim--not to as in the case of older artists who strained their vocal chords and smoked for years. Even Julie Andrews, who had voice training and always took care of her instrumen,t had to have surgery and the surgery permanently damaged her vocal chords so that she can no longer sing in her three octave range. This happened when she was performing Victor/Victoria on stage. If this can happen to her, then all the more important for someone like Adele to take care of her voice.

Yeah, that sucks that no one gives people time to take care of that voice. I just hope her surgery is a success as her camp suggests.

Here's hoping.

this could be a blessing

a sign for her to stop a bit, to train her chords properly, to have a rest

many singers had this same problem, and then they came back with an upgraded, stronger, less fragile voice...

I really like her and we need that voice in music right now! I hope she can get this taken care of.
