Multiplatinum British singer Adele has cancelled all of her upcoming shows and appearances for the rest of the year to undergo surgery.

Adele Cancels Sold-Out US Tour Dates Due To Illness

The singer, who exploded on the charts this year, has been plagued with throat problems all year, causing her to have to cancel shows.

Friday, a statement on her website was released:

“It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011.”

“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.”

Adele is expected to recover by February–just in time for the Grammy’s!
