Adele fans may want to hold off on any spontaneous Las Vegas trips next month. 

The “Easy on Me” singer has postponed all March dates of her “Weekends With Adele” residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas due to poor health. The show dates being postponed are March 1-2, March 8-9, March 15-16, March 22-23 and March 29-30. 

She announced the decision on her Instagram on Tuesday, Feb. 27, revealing that she was sick at the end of her last leg of shows, which ran from November 2022 to March 2023, and throughout her break before returning to the residency in January.

“I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately it’s all taken a toll on my voice,” the singer posted on Instagram. “(O)n Doctors orders I have no choice but to rest thoroughly.”

This isn’t the first time the British singer has faced vocal issues. In 2011 underwent vocal cord surgery due to hemorrhaging caused by a benign polyp, and in 2017 she postponed two shows at London’s Wembley Stadium due to damaged vocal cords.

The current leg of the Grammy winner’s Las Vegas shows is scheduled to run through June 15, and the singer assured fans that the 10 postponed shows will be rescheduled for a later date.
