Adele reveals that her Vegas show has given her a fungal skin infection in a very awkward area of her body due to wearing Spanx.
According to Daily Mail, “The singer, 35, quipped that she had ‘jock itch’ after sweating in her Spanx while performing under the hot lights at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.”
“Known commonly as jock itch, tinea cruris is a fungal skin infection of the groin area, affecting the upper part of the thighs, buttocks, and lower parts of the abdomen.”
The Rolling in the Deep singer candidly spoke about her infection at her Weekends with Adele, Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum.
“It is a bit crude, but I never knew it existed,” Adele said.
“Me and my team were talking about it earlier. Obviously, when I do my shows I wear Spanx to keep it all in and make it all fit me,” she added. “And I sweat a lot and it doesn’t go anywhere. So basically I just sit in my own sweat. And my doctor gave me Jock Itch [cream].”
According to the Mayo clinic, this condition is common among athletes and people who sweat a lot.
“So it looks like I am an athlete so I have to squirt it on myself,” she admitted. “I don’t know why the f–k I just told you that.”
The Set Fire to the Rain singer then proceeded to make a joke about Denver Nuggets’ star Nikola Jokic and said, “Sounds like I am a big Nuggets fan there doesn’t it? Jock Itch that is what it is called right?”
This is not the first time Adele has spoken up about her health issues – In March 2023, the Hello singer opened up about her nerves after returning to her Vegas residency after a three-month break.
“All week I had just been buzzing and right then I was stood right there (behind the curtain) and I s**t myself!” she said at that time.
“We had a very long break and I am 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.”
