The 23-year-old Rolling In The Deep singer had to cancel US tour dates after being struck down with a sever bout of laryngitis and said that she was eventually ordered to keep quiet for a fortnight or risk losing her voice altogether.
Taking to her blog, she told fans, 'As I'm sure most of you know i had to cancel over half of my US tour a couple weeks back. It was a devastating decision to make, but I really had no choice.
'I had to give my 2 two weeks rest or risk permanent damage. I'm so so sorry. we are in the middle of rescheduling it all and I will see you there when I return. once all the new dates are in place.
'I was having the best time ever on tour, and I really am gutted to be back before it's finished.
'I'm at home now, watching box sets and sorting things out into neat piles and resting. I haven't been able to cook for almost 3 months cause I've been on the road so I'm getting back into that. I've become obsessed with Beyonce's I am Sasha Fierce tour dvd and 30 rock, and I've also started uploading over 1,000 cds to my itunes! long but satisfying!'
Quashing some recent rumours about herself, she added, 'I haven't been told to not sing or talk for a month, I have given up smoking again! And also I'm not having singing lessons.
'I got better before and I'm getting better this time, and I will do everything I can to make sure nothing like this happens again!'
