An Evening with Adele (2008 - 2009) | Adele Live (2011) | None |
Adele Live is the second concert tour by English recording artist Adele. Visiting Europe and North America, the tour supports her second studio album, 21. Adele is backed by a five-piece band and backing singers, whilst for some songs she is accompanied by piano only. The stage design features twenty-one lampshades (a possible reference to the supporting album's title). The setlist comprised all songs from 21, as well as selected songs from 19. "He Won't Go" was the only song from 21 not included in the setlist. The shows garnered positive critical reviews, many of which emphasized the show's understated nature, as well as the singer's vocal performance and accessible persona.
Recurring health and vocal problems led to numerous alterations to the tour itinerary. The first European leg of the tour was uninterrupted. However, for the first North American leg, which was originally scheduled from 12 May 2011 in Washington D.C. to 22 June in Minneapolis, Adele canceled the last nine dates of her tour after she was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. These dates were re-scheduled with some additional dates and some larger venues. The tour was sold out quickly across North America and Europe, and received positive reviews.
In September 2011, "continuing problems with a serious cold and chest infection" prompted the postponement of seven additional dates on the second leg of the European stop. However, the tour was resumed on 13 September, and new dates for the missed shows were rescheduled. In October 2011, the singer again cancelled the remaining dates of the second leg of her North American tour due to a vocal hemorrhage that caused internal bleeding near her vocal chords. Adele was forced to cancel the remaining dates of her tour to undergo throat surgery for her hemorrhaging. Although some rumors claimed she would be making up the dates, there were too many and she was unable to make them up. She made her official comeback to the music industry at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, with a live performance of "Rolling in the Deep" that received critical acclaim from critics, fans, and fellow celebrities. Supposedly, in order to save her voice, Adele has said she will never do another world tour like this, although this was never confirmed. It can be assumed if this is true, the two main countries she will tour in will be the UK and the US.
