Now, for the first time since she went under the knife -- or laser, I don't know how these things work -- Adele has spoken out! Or, typed out, rather, since I'm guessing talking isn't allowed.

She wrote:
Sorry I haven’t written for a while. Thank you for all your positive thoughts and get well wishes. I’m doing really well, on the mend, super happy, relaxed and very positive with it all. The operation was a success and I’m just chilling out now until I get the all clear from my doctors. Thank you to everyone who voted for the awards I’ve won recently as well. Hugely appreciated. I best get back to practicing my mime show now. Take care, miss you all –
Always adele xx

Until she can return to the stage, her upcoming 90-minute concert film Live At The Royal Albert Hall (due in stores on November 29) will have to suffice. Watch a clip from the concert, as Adele performs my favorite track of 21:
