"im still not well enough. i woke up feeling a bit better but not by a lot, but decided to head towards cardiff anyway in the hope id be able to sing tonight. half way there i realised it was unrealistic and so have come back home to rest. i apologise profusely, i know many of you would have travelled to cardiff today for the show. im so so sorry! i need to wait until the infection has cleared up, theres no use battling through it because itll only make me weaker. im still breathless and my chest is disgusting. believe me im doing everything i can to get better asap i promise. its a bug and i have to wait til its gone. im not doing half hearted performances for anyone. if i try do a show like this itll be rubbish and i wont be coming back this year and i dont want leave you like that. if i postpone ill come back very soon when im well and do it how i normally do it! please forgive me, i hate cancelling things as you know. this has nothing to do with my throat before. im sure lots of you feel like this as well, its going round. see you very soon adele xx"

This was posted on her blog. I remember a few months ago in an interview she said she doesnt have to be on the cover of Rolling Stone and doesnt need to have a bikini body, and that she never exercises and smokes 20 cigarettes a day.
Now if this is all true...this illness could be something really bad. It could be early cancer. It doesnt matter if you dont want to be on Rolling Stone, ok, but if you are overweight you need to exercise and ESPECIALLY dont smoke cigarettes. You already have higher chances of heart disease and now youve increased that and added in Lung Cancer. She better learn from being sick so long to STOP SMOKING!
I hope she gets better and I hope its just a bad cold. We cant loose her.

I think the stress of her rise to fame combined with her fear of performing might have something to do with it.

Poor Adele! Hope she gets better asap and it isnt anything dangerous!

She's been sick off and on since like what? April? May? Thats 5 months.

Get well soon, sis. And congrats on another #1!

She needs to stop smoking,

Did you read anything I said?

Ya'll are so ignorant. If you're a fan you better start finding ways to reach her, because she is too damn stupid if she's still smoking.

smokes 5 packs of cigarettes a day.

Is that true?

she needa set fire to the chair and hit the treadmill...then she'll have the voice & the bod & the health

She smokes cigarettes. It's not like she's a heroin addict.

But I feel like she's canceled about 60 shows this year.

Even while sick, she still has a beautiful face. She needs to quit her smoking addiction though.

Clearly something is going wrong, but all we can do is speculate. It's easy to chastise her for her lifestyle choices, but she's only 23. She has to live a little too. I'm not sure if she's currently smoking or not (she's given them up before on a few occasions), but I'd imagine her recent bout of ill health will make her consider kicking the habit for good.

She rescheduled and did half of them and will (or should) do half of them next month... at least the U.S/North American tour.

Because we have the power to stop Adele from smoking.

I'm so ready for Duffy's next album. Hopefully it will be here next year.

Oh, get well soon, Adele.

I thought she said she was quitting smoking?

And some people just get sick a lot.

She was smoking at the VMAs with "Jo."
