Adele Shares The Surprising Cause Of Her 'Grim' Ear Infection

Singer Adele is opening up about the resulting health issue she contracted while on tour.

The "Easy On Me" songstress, who is currently in the middle of a Las Vegas residency, revealed she now lives with a health condition that has caused her quite a bit of pain. She shared her news with her Las Vegas audience on Friday night. The audience for another recent show at Adele's residency included a critically acclaimed singer.

Saturday night was a notable night at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas for Adele. What started as a typical show ended as a night to remember when Celine Dion caught the "My Heart Will Go On" singer's attention!

The duo was quite thrilled to see one another. Adele cried tears of excitement, and the audience gave the legendary diva a standing ovation.

Dion captivated audiences earlier this year with the release of "I Am: Celine Dion," a documentary chronicling the GRAMMY award winner's life with Stiff Person Syndrome.

Audience members at Adele's show on Friday night learned about a painful nuisance that the singer is currently dealing with.

The "To Make You Feel My Love" songstress called the ear infection she is enduring "pretty grim." The irritation from Adele's ear infection is new as she revealed to the crowd it was her first ear infection ever, according to Us Weekly.

"It is the most painful thing that ever, ever happened to me in my life. It was worse than childbirth," she added. The conversation was recorded by an audience member and later shared on social media, per the publication.

Treating the excruciatingly painful ear infection took a few tries for the singer, and she was candid about the process.

"It is hard to treat, so I was on the wrong antibiotics for a few days," Adele told the crowd. "They managed to give me one that started to work. I’m no longer in pain, which is great, [but] I’m a bit deaf in my left ear."

The "Rolling in the Deep" singer candidly shared the origin of her aching ear infection, saying that she contracted a "rare water bacteria" earlier this spring while on tour in Germany. She performed in the "pouring rain" while in Munich in August, via Us Weekly.

The "Woman Like Me" songstress' career has been on a fast track since bursting on the scene in 2008 with the release of her debut album, "19."

Earlier this summer, Adele announced her desire to take a "long break", but not from the creative side of her career.

In an interview with ZDF, Adele explained, "I don't have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this, and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while. I don't like being famous. I love that I get to make music all the time."

Adele had a bit of 'twirky time' during a show earlier this Summer while she was attempting to hide an outfit malfunction! Thankfully, the audience was all in for the singer's attempts to "twirk" away a loose shoelace!

A fan celebrated the lighthearted moment on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, and shared the clip. They celebrated Adele's determination by captioning the moment, "1 thing about Adele is if she's down, she's gonna twirk!"

The moment was inspired by the singer's decision to take further precautions as it continued to pour down rain. The "twirking" moment was inspired by Adele's quick thinking to swap heels into sneakers.

The singer's cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" has been a staple of wedding playlists since its release. Adele and her boyfriend, Rich Paul, will be able to work on their own wedding playlist soon!

The pair got engaged in July after months of speculation about their relationship. They had reportedly been thought to have already walked down the aisle.

An inside source revealed to The Sun that she thinks it's "hilarious" that fans believe she and Paul have already wed. "It's been an in-joke. Now everyone is joking that she could make the ultimate wedding singer," the insider reported.

Paul gifted his bride-to-be with a four-carat diamond ring during a hometown proposal. The couple celebrated their big moment the next night with "champagne at Chiltern Firehouse," as previously reported by The Blast.

The duo is reportedly set to wed next year, according to their friends, per the aforementioned outlet. The ceremony is expected to be a "lavish" one.

Adele's latest album was released in 2021.
