Adele revealed her body had to be picked “up off the floor” after she had a sciatica attack and collapsed backstage during her Las Vegas residency.
“I am going to sit down and rest my sciatica,” the songstress, 35, said of her chronic back pain during a concert over the weekend, per The Sun.
She then told fans about a recent sciatica attack that brought her to her knees.
“They picked my whole body up off the floor,” Adele explained while talking to the crowd at Caesars Palace.
Sciatica is a condition that generally occurs when a herniated disk puts pressure on part of the sciatic nerve, causing extreme pain, according to the Mayo Clinic.
At a previous show, Adele referenced her back pain while firing T-shirts into the audience with a handheld cannon.
“I’ve got two more, I’ve just got to get over to the other side of the stage. I have to waddle these days because I have really bad sciatica,” she joked at the time.
The Grammy winner hasn’t divulged what caused the condition or when it began.
During her concert Saturday night, the “Skyfall” singer also called out a security guard for seemingly “bothering” a young fan.
She stopped her performance of “Water Under The Bridge” after noticing someone in the crowd getting hassled by security.
“What is going on with that young fan there?” Adele asked as she walked to the front of the stage, fan video shows. “He’s been bothered so much for standing up … why are you bothering him? Can you leave him alone, please?”
As the audience cheered, the British pop star added, “They won’t bother you again, my darling,” and apologized to the crowd for pausing the performance.
“Sorry, I’ve been bothered the whole show by security and other people sitting behind him. He’s here to have fun, alright. All of you are here to have fun.”
This wasn’t the first time Adele has stood her ground on stage, having recently issued a challenge to anyone considering throwing items at her while she’s performing.
“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f–king show etiquette at the moment and just throwing s–t onstage?” she said last month. “Have you seen that? I f–king dare you, I dare you to throw something at me. I’ll f–king kill you.”
The “Set Fire to the Rain” singer’s comments followed a string of incidents in which artists have been accosted — by cell phones, raunchy sex toys, a massive cheese wheel and even human ashes — during live performances.
