Adele suffers gruelling skin infection during Las Vegas residency

Adele has had some negative consequences to her Las Vegas residency.

During the show on the weekend, the Hello singer revealed that she had contracted a fungal skin infection after performing under the hot lights at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Commonly known as jock itch, tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the skin, affecting the groin area i.e., the upper part of the thighs, buttocks, and lower parts of the abdomen.

She told the crowd, "[I am] so hot," adding "I need a towel, Jesus!"

The songstress went on to explain that she didn’t even know the skin condition "existed" before her doctors informed her that she had it.

"Obviously when I do my shows I wear Spanx and keep it all in and make it all fit me," she continued. "So it looks like I am an athlete basically, so I have to squirt it on myself. I don't know why the [expletive] I just told you that!"

Addressing her body acne, Adele added, "I have started weight lifting again like no-one's business. And I am absolutely loving it."

The Oscar winner, who returned to her Vegas residency after a three-month break since her last show in March, said that she was "gassed to be back."

"I was bored out of my brains. Somehow I missed you. It is a lovely change. I genuinely love doing these shows and it is the highlight of my week. I was desperate to get back. It is a whole new meaning," Adele added.
