Singer Adele has announced that she has been forced to cancel the final two shows of her tour after damaging her vocal cords.
“On medical advice, I simply am unable to perform over the weekend. To say I'm heart-broken would be a complete understatement,” Adele posted on Facebook on Friday.

In total, Adele has performed 121 shows on this run.
If the Saturday and Sunday Wembley dates are not rescheduled, refunds will be offered, the singer stated.
