Adele Opens Up About Her Sciatica Diagnosis While Residencing In Las Vegas: ‘I Have To Waddle These Days’

Adele revealed to the audience at her New Year’s Eve show in Las Vegas on Saturday that she has sciatica.

“I have to waddle these days because I have really bad sciatica,” she said as she moved from one side of the stage at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum, according to Cosmopolitan UK.

Sciatica affects the nerve that runs through your lower back, hips, backside, and down each of your legs, and Adele has been open about other back issues she’s had over the years. “I’ve been in pain with my back for, like, half my life,” she told The Face in an interview for the Winter 2021 issue. “It flares up, usually as a result of stress or a stupid bit of posture.

“I slipped my first disc when I was 15 because I was sneezing,” Adele continued. “I was in bed when I sneezed, and my fifth flew out. I slipped my sixth one, my L6, in January. And then, because I had a C-section, my core was rendered useless. But now that I have a strong tummy, which I never had before, my back doesn’t bother me as much.”

Despite her health issues, Adele celebrated another chapter of her ongoing Sin City residency, Weekends With Adele, on social media, posting photos from her final concert of 2022 and writing, “Weekend 7 Happy New Year to You and Yours,” punctuated by a red heart emoji.
