Adele, the popular singer, has been suffering from partial hearing loss after contracting a painful ear infection. The 16-time Grammy winner mentioned during her Las Vegas concert that the temporary pain caused by the ear infection has been the worst she has ever experienced, even worse than childbirth. She revealed that she picked up a rare water bacteria during her residency in Germany this past summer which was difficult to treat. Adele was initially on the wrong antibiotics causing her immense pain which made her want to “chop her ear off”. Even though she is no longer in pain, she has been left slightly deaf in her left ear.
Despite the pain from the infection, Adele was determined not to miss her concert. She mentioned that there was no way she would not attend, no matter how bad the pain was. This incident is not the first time Adele has suffered from a painful infection. In 2013, she had to deal with a fungal skin infection caused by the hot lights while performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. She stated that she was unaware of such infections and that she sweats a lot during her performances which can lead to skin issues especially due to her wearing Spanx.
Adele’s health issues come after an emotional moment during her concert where she broke down in tears after spotting Celine Dion in the audience. In a video posted online, Adele was singing her 2015 hit “When We Were Young” when she came across Dion in the crowd. Overwhelmed with emotion, Adele stopped singing and went to hug Dion who was with her 14-year-old twin sons. The two music icons embraced each other while crying and exchanged a few words. Dion lovingly held Adele’s hand, kissed it, and they went their separate ways.
The singer’s ear infection and partial hearing loss have caused her discomfort but have not stopped her from giving her best during her concerts. Adele has shown resilience despite the pain, stating that there was no way she would miss her show. Her previous experience with a skin infection has made her more vigilant about her health while performing on stage. The emotional moment with Celine Dion further showcases Adele’s sensitivity and appreciation for her fellow musicians.
Adele’s fans have expressed concern for her health after she disclosed her struggle with the ear infection. Many of her supporters have sent messages of love and well wishes on social media. Adele’s dedication to her music and her commitment to her performances have made her a beloved figure in the music industry. Despite facing health challenges, she continues to deliver powerful and emotional performances that resonate with her audience.
As Adele continues her concerts and music career, her health and well-being will remain a priority. The singer’s recent battle with partial hearing loss serves as a reminder of the importance of taking care of oneself amidst a demanding schedule. Adele’s resilience and determination to overcome challenges are qualities that have endeared her to fans worldwide. Her emotional moment with Celine Dion further highlights the deep connection between musicians and the impact music has on people’s lives.
