Adele Struggles With Severe Ear Infection: Pain Worse Than Childbirth Leads to Desperate Thoughts

Adele, the globally celebrated singer known for her powerful voice and emotional ballads, is currently battling a severe ear infection that has left her temporarily deaf in one ear. The 36-year-old artist revealed the distressing ordeal during a live performance in Las Vegas, where she described the pain as “worse than childbirth.” According to reports, she has been struggling with this agonizing condition for the past two months.

This unfortunate health scare originated from a rare water bacteria infection Adele contracted while performing in Munich, Germany, during a ten-day residency back in August. Since then, the Skyfall hitmaker has endured excruciating pain, which she characterized as “the most painful thing that’s ever, ever happened to me.” Speaking candidly to her fans at Caesars Palace, she recounted her battle with the infection: “It’s very hard to treat. I was on the wrong antibiotics for a few days. They finally gave me the right one that started to work. At times, I wished I could just chop my ear off.”

Despite her challenges, Adele expressed relief that she is no longer in pain, although she continues to experience some hearing difficulties in her left ear. Following her current residency, the singer announced her intention to take an extended break from public performances and the music scene, stating, “I have ten shows left to do, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time. I want to focus on other creative pursuits for a while.”

In addition to her health struggles, Adele confirmed that she became engaged to sports agent Rich Paul in August, following a two-year romance. Sources say the couple is excited about their future together and is planning a sizable wedding celebration in California, along with another event in England. Despite this joy, insiders have noted that Adele has been feeling overwhelmed, with some claiming she’s been close to experiencing a “nervous breakdown” due to the stress surrounding her upcoming marriage.

Adele’s emotional journey has resonated with her fans, who support her through this challenging period, as she remains committed to her artistry while navigating both her health and personal life.
