Adele cancels remaining U.S. dates including Durham

As Adele has become one of the biggest stars in the world this year, but her ability to keep up with her demanding touring schedule proved problematic earlier this year when she canceled a series of U.S. dates. Now it's happened again.

Like the cancellations earlier this year, the reason given this time is also vocal strain. Adele posted a long explanation and apology on her website, which you can view HERE.

The cancellations include the sold out show at the Durham Performing Arts Center this Saturday, October 8. Refunds will likely be available at the point of purchase.

iTunes Single Of The Week - Adele "Hometown Glory"

This week's iTunes Single of the Week is truly stellar. That's a rare thing.

The song "Hometown Glory" comes from 19-year-old London singer, Adele. Her voice is tonally similar to Amy Winehouse and she has a similar inflection in her voice.

The song's arrangement is simple, just piano, voice and strings. That's all it needs. There's something very powerful yet heartbreaking in her voice that makes it impossible to ignore. It's hard to believe she's only 19 years old.

Just listen and enjoy.
