Adele revealed during her Las Vegas residency that she has lost hearing in her left ear following a painful infection she suffered while performing in Munich.
The singer shared her health ordeal with her audience, explaining that the issue seems to be long-lasting.
The MailOnline quotes her saying, “I have an ear infection, which is pretty grim.
“I’ve never had one before. It’s the most painful thing that’s ever, ever happened to me. It was worse than childbirth. It’s a rare water bacteria. It’s very hard to treat.”
Describing a botched attempt to treat the issue, the star went on, “I was on the wrong antibiotics for a few days and they managed to give me one that started to work. I wanted to chop my ear off a few times.”
She then added, “I’m no longer in pain, which is great but I’m a bit deaf in my left ear.”
Adele, who shares a son with ex-husband Simon Konecki, performed in Munich in August and is now back in Las Vegas for her Weekends with Adele shows, which began in November 2022 and will end next month.
