Singing sensation Adele is performing through the pain during her Las Vegas residency after a disc in her spine disintegrated.
The Hello hit-maker 34, has been in agony with bad knees and told one of her recent audiences how one of her discs had worn away.
During the latest show of her Weekends With Adele residency, Adele asked the crowd: "Is anyone else kind of my age starting getting bad knees?
"I have got really bad sciatica in my left leg and my L5 disc is not f***ing there anymore. It's worn away."
The L5 vertebra is the final section of the lumbar spine and injuries to it often cause numbness and weakness in the legs.
Adele has previously said the pain means she can only waddle instead of walking properly.
Adele started her residency in November and she has since revealed that she wants to continue playing shows in Las Vegas rather than attempting another tour of arenas.
Speaking to the 4,000-strong crowd at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, she explained: "I love making music but there is something about performing live that actually terrifies me.
"That is why I am not a big touring artist. I did it last time to prove I could do it. But this experience of being in a room this size, I think I might be a live artist for the rest of my life. Honestly, I am the happiest I have ever, ever, ever been.
"Doing two shows a week in a much smaller room and seeing people receive my music is, honestly, just what I am going to do from now on rather than big rooms that make me feel terrified."
"There is something not quite normal about one person standing in front of 100,000 people. I often felt like Santa Claus or Spongebob or something like that. The crowds were amazing, but I couldn't really see three-quarters of them."
It comes after Adele's 2022 performance at the BRITs was re-aired at this year's ceremony.
BRITs bosses were forced to air a repeat of the singer's 2022 performance after glitzy ceremony saw Harry Styles sweep four gongs and performances from the likes of Stormzy and Lizzo.
