Adele Tells Crowd She's Developed 'Jock Itch' Due To Performing Under Hot Stage Lights

The Grammy winner told the audience of her Las Vegas residency about how her doctor diagnosed her with the fungal infection.

Adele made a triumphant return to the concert stage over the weekend after recovering from an unexpected health issue.

During her Saturday night performance of the ongoing "Weekends With Adele" residency in Las Vegas, the renowned singer-songwriter shared with the audience she had recently been diagnosed with a fungal infection called "jock itch."


The condition, which causes an itchy and stinging rash on the skin, is similar to ringworm and athlete's foot and is commonly found in the groin and inner thighs, particularly among male athletes.

Videos shared on social media—like the one below—captured Adele's revelation about her diagnosis and her lighthearted comments about the situation.

The British singer humorously disclosed that the extended periods of performing under hot stage lights had contributed to her condition, as she would sweat profusely while wearing Spanx to manage her appearance on stage.

Adele expressed surprise at the existence of a remedy for her ailment, saying:

"Do you know what my doctor gave me?"
"It is a bit crude, but I never knew it existed..."
"So my doctor gave me jock itch [cream]."

During her performance, Adele—who is currently dating NBA agent Rich Paul—also playfully connected the phrase "jock itch" to the name of Denver Nuggets player Nikola Jokić, whose surname sounds similar.

She jokingly remarked:

"Sounds like I am a big Nuggets fan there, doesn't it?"

She added:

"It looks like I am an athlete so I have to squirt [the cream] on myself. I don't know why the f**k I just told you that."

The internet is itchy for more of Adele’s humor.









We wish Adele good fortune for the rest of her Vegas tenure.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
