Adele using 'made up sign language' to communicate after cancelling gigs due to vocal cord damage

IN an attempt to save her vocal cords ADELE has been forced to stay mute – even while checking out a potential school for her son.

The woman with one of the most famous voices in the world was reduced to communicating with “made-up sign language” during her day out at the super-posh London prep school this week.

We exclusively told how Adele feared she would never sing again when she abruptly cut short her world tour on July 1 with just two dates to go after suffering severe vocal difficulties.

Our source revealed how her camp had gone into panic mode to make sure the damage to her vocal cords, which she had major surgery on in 2011, is not irreversible.

And this is one instance where we are a bit gutted to be proven right as, a fortnight on, Adele still has not ­recovered the use of her voice.

While walking around the school that she is considering for her four-year-old son Angelo — where yearly fees can push close to five figures — ­onlookers told how the superstar stayed schtum.

Instead, the usually chatty singer left all the talking to her husband Simon Konecki.

Our source said: “Adele wasn’t making a sound, even if she was asked a direct question by people unaware of her vocal issues she wouldn’t be tempted to answer.

She was gesturing wildly at times to Simon to communicate and he was doing all the talking for them.

“It was almost funny at times because he joked that it was her made-up sign ­language.

“It looked like it was really frustrating her and she stroked her throat a few times as if it was hurting her.”

During the look around ­businessman Simon appeared to confirm that they are back in the UK permanently after a time living in the US.

The source added: “They said pretty firmly that they were back in the UK now for good after spending some time in Los Angeles.”

We’re glad we’ve got Adele away from the soaring sunshine of Los Angeles and its annoyingly peppy inhabitants.

What better way to aid her recovery than London smog, Brexit stress and the sheer misery of the weekend ­EastEnders omnibus?
