Adele cancels American tour to heal throat


Adele said, she has canceled the rest of a north American tour to recover from laryngitis.

She had already postponed five shows under doctor's orders, but while resting in Los Angeles she saw a specialist "who determined it was imperative that she take the next few weeks to recover with absolute voice rest."

The 23-year-old, known for powerful love songs including "Someone Like You," had been due to resume the sold-out tour in San Francisco on Saturday, but has now canceled the remaining nine dates.

"I'm really frustrated. I was hoping with a weeks rest I'd be better to sing again straight away. However, there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctors advice and rest some more," she said in a statement on her web site.

"I'm so sorry. See you soon, love Adele."
