Adele cancels more shows suffering a chest infection

Adele has cancelled two more concerts as she desperately battles a chest infection.

The Someone Like You star axed the start of her UK tour on Sunday and pulled a show on Monday and a planned performance at the Mercury Prize ceremony on Tuesday.

She hoped to be back on stage in Cardiff on Wednesday, and in Blackpool on Thursday.

In a statement on her website, a spokesman writes, "It is with regret that due to continuing problems with a serious cold and chest infection, Adele has had to postpone her show tonight, Wednesday September 7th in Cardiff and the following date tomorrow, Thursday September 8th in Blackpool.

"She had cancelled her performance at The Mercury Awards (sic) last night in the hope she would be able to continue her live dates, but has been told by her doctors that she is still not well enough to perform... Adele is extremely sorry and apologizes for any inconvenience caused and looks forward to seeing you all at the rescheduled shows."
