    "I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break. I hadn't quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I'm sick again, and unfortunately it's all taken a toll on my voice," she continued.

    Adele did not specify the nature of her sickness but said she's following doctors orders, which means she has "no choice but to rest thoroughly."
