According to Insider , Adele had already completed performances of her world tour with only two more to go when she had to deliver news that was devastating to her and her fans. Adele was devastated that she couldn't perform for her legions of fans who had bought tickets and anxiously waited for their chance to hear her voice live.
The singer took to Twitter to apologize to her fans with a touching note which included her reasons for canceling the shows. The press release began, "I don't even know how to start this. The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life. To come home to such a response after so long away doing something I never thought I could pull off but did has blown me away.
However, I've struggled vocally both nights. That's one of the stories the British singer, who is up for six Grammys Sunday night, tells Anderson Cooper in her first interview since that surgery, which she discusses for the first time. Adele will also sing for Cooper in her first public performance since the operation in a "60 Minutes" profile to be broadcast Sunday, Feb.
Most of [the apps] you can't swear on, but I found this one app where you can swear, so I'm still really getting my point across. Adele's second album, "21," has not only sold nearly 17 million copies worldwide, but stayed atop the charts for longer than any album has for almost 20 years.
Top Artists. Top Charts. Hot Songs. Billboard Top Videos. Top Articles. His voice had become flat and raspy, and he found it physically painful to perform.
He credits Paglin and Brilla with restoring his voice and his career. Today, at 71, he is a bull on stage, and can perform non-stop for up to three hours.
The question remains: Could Brilla and Paglin's approach permanently cure an artist like Adele by teaching her to sing in a more natural way? Dr Zeitels is dismissive of such an approach, and quick to defend Adele and his other clients against the contention that bad technique is causing their vocal problems.
The people I see - they know how to sing! Another renowned throat surgeon, Dr Robert T Sataloff, who has performed voice-corrective surgery on several Grammy Award winners, including Patti LuPone, bristles at the notion that surgery is not a sensible way to keep singers healthy. Combined with proper education on the dangers of improper singing technique, he believes it can keep people on stage for longer. And it probably never will be," he said.
But some of Brilla and Paglin's students are thriving without medical intervention, including Maddalena Crippa, who at 59 years old is in the midst of a remarkable second act. Her voice has been injury-free since she started working with Brilla and Paglin 15 years ago, and last May she wrapped up a critically acclaimed tour of L'Allegra Vedova, a one-woman-show based on a operetta.
For 75 minutes each night, she sang and acted two roles, the husky-voiced Danilo and the high-pitched Anna, who at one point sing a virtuosic duet. Critics were impressed, with one raving that Crippa is still "a brilliant singer".
On July 1, when news broke of Adele's cancellations, Paglin was frustrated by the press coverage. Recalling that Adele's original surgery in had proved to be a huge PR victory for vocal-cord microsurgery, she worried that the message from Adele's latest setback would be that, not to worry, a second or third surgery will get the star back on stage.
