Adele Adkins ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars'

Adele had to cancel her tour because she lost her voice and the doctor put her voice on total rest.  Yeah, totally sucks.  Anyhow, it looks like that is not her only issue!

Adele Channels Her Inner Sasha Fierce: Meet Sasha Carter

“Shortly after she landed in L.A. in early May, an executive for her label told her she needs to lose weight,” a source tells Star. “And that really devastated her.”

She isn’t into the big crowds that she’s been performing in front of and apparently it makes her throat close up on stage when she’s so nervous.

“The pressure on Adele…has been immense,” says the source. “She was sitting in her hotel room in Santa Monica on her own, crying.  Adele sees herself as just a normal girl from London, and she felt bullied and like a fish out of water in L.A. She just wanted to go home.  Last time she toured America, she was drinking a lot with her crew,” reveals the source. “[She] got very homesick and she canceled the tour because she wanted to go home to England to see her boyfriend at the time.”

They are saying that she’s been boozing it up to calm her nerves.  How true is this source?  I don’t know, but something is definitely off.

Jeremih took on one of my new favorites, Adele’s “Rumor Has It” for Billboard Mashup Mondays. OMG!  It doesn’t get any better than this.  Seriously.  Music can be better than sex at times.  This is one of those times.

“You probably have never heard this type of sound from my voice, so I just wanted to touch it and see what I could do with it,” the 23-year-old Chicago native told Billboard. “I think [Adele is] one of the hottest new breakthrough artists. I love her sound of music. It kinda gives me the old Motown sound of music that I grew up listening to.”

Adele may be rolling in the ching and finally receiving recognition for her talent (I mean come on, her album is, in my opinion, the BEST of the year) but she has had a tough time adjusting to the spotlight.  In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, she revealed that she is not a big fan of large audiences and going out on the road isn’t her idea of a good time.  Well, that definitely could pose a bit of a problem.
