Adele recently shocked fans after announcing she had to postpone her next ten shows in March due to illness.
She shared a post on Instagram updating her excited fans about the heartbreaking news that her illness "took a toll on her voice". "Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Vegas residency," she wrote. "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 taken a toll on my voice.
"And so on Doctors orders, I have no choice but to rest thoroughly. The remaining 5 weekends of this leg are being postponed to a later date. We are already working out the details and you will be sent the information ASAP. The postponed dates are 1. 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 & 30 March."
It's not the first time the star cancelled her shows, outraging fans who spent money on tickets, flights and hotels. She also upset fans when she announced her European shows as tickets cost up to £1,000. As the Rolling In The Deep star focuses on her health, we take a look at Adele's net worth and more.

She's also sold over 120 million records worldwide and holds the record of the best-selling female artist of the 21st century in the UK. In 2022 she started her popular Las Vegas residency which has been a huge hit with fans who travelled from all over to watch her perform. It's no wonder, then, that her net worth is estimated to be a whopping $220 million (about £176 million), according to Cosmopolitan.
Marriage to Rich Paul

They maintained a low-profile romance before rumours started swirling about their relationship. Soon, their romance went public when they attended an NBA game together. At the time, Adele admitted she "didn't mean to go public."
Later that year, Adele hard-launched their relationship by posting photos of her and her beau on Instagram at a wedding they attended together. She captioned the post with a simple red heart emoji. Last year, people started wondering if they got married when a fan proposed to her at her Las Vegas residency.
"You can't marry me. I'm straight, my love. And my husband is here tonight," she said. In November 2023, reports suggested the two tied the knot. Pop culture account Deuxmoi reveals the Someone Like You singer "confirmed" the couple's status during pal Alan Carr's US debut comedy tour in LA.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, 41-year-old Rich was asked by host Gayle King if she could refer to Adele as "Mrs Paul". He replied: "You can say whatever you want." He then added: "It's not for the media."
Pregnancy rumours
After their low-key wedding, rumours started spreading about the couple's plans to expand their family. The Someone Like You singer already has a son Angelo, 11, with her ex-husband Simon Konecki. Rich Paul also has three children - Reonna, Richie, and Zane - from a previous relationship.
Speaking to OK! magazine at the end of November last year, a source claimed: "Adele and Rich are so happy, she’s so in love and they’re an amazing team – she’s never felt happier or healthier. She and Rich are planning to have a baby, it’s her dream to have a big family."
Adele has been open about her desire to have more children. During one of her concerts, the Londoner said that having another child wasn’t a matter of "if" but "when". The broody singer even thought of adorable baby names, too. She told fans she had been writing down baby names in her phone’s notes app while chatting to a fan during a recent show.
