Adele has undergone throat surgery in the US yesterday (November 7).
The London singer underwent vocal cord microsurgery to stop recurrent bleeding from a benign polyp, confirmed a spokesman for Massachusetts General Hospital.
The condition is usually the result of unstable blood vessels in the vocal cord, he added.
According to the Belfast Telegraph Adele is set to make a full recovery in the coming weeks.
As previously reported on Gigwise, Adele cancelled all her remaining tour dates for 2011 due to ongoing health issues.
A statement released on her official website reads: ‘It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011. She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments.’
