Adam Levine appears to have suffered a nasty mishap. The 36-year-old singer posted a selfie on Instagram sporting a neck brace after suffering an injury that forced him to cancel the band’s concerts in South Korea.
Adam Levine’s injury left many fans in South Korea disappointed over the weekend after Maroon 5 was forced to postpone a show in Daegu.
How Adam Levine’s injury came about is unclear, which may have led to the rumors circulating online after Levine posted a photo of himself in a neck brace on Instagram.
Those rumors indicated that 'The Voice' judge had been injured in a car accident while in South Korea, but according to Billboard, concert organizers indicated that Adam Levine’s injury was not the result of a car accident. Instead, the Maroon 5 singer was dealing with 'neck muscle issues.'
Adam Levine apologized to fans for rescheduling their Korean shows. "Hey guys. Sorry we had to reschedule," he wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “I posted this photo of sad neck brace Adam purely for your sympathy!" he continued. “See you Thursday!”
In the black-and-white selfie, Levine pulls a disappointed expression as he pouts into the camera while wearing a bulky neck brace.
A statement was issued by South Korean concert organizers. The Korean word for “neck” and “throat” is the same, so at the time of the statement the nature of Adam Levine’s injury was vague.
“The artists and staff tried very hard to prepare for [the Maroon 5 concert this past Saturday] until the day before on Friday, but it seemed problematic to proceed with the show given vocalist Adam Levine’s neck muscle issues.”
Those who purchased tickets to the weekend Daegu show will be honored, according to information posted to Maroon 5’s Twitter feed.
The band have been on their 'V Tour' in South Korea when Adam apparently injured himself. Their tour is set to resume in South Korea this week and then continue on to Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.
Levine will also return as a judge on NBC talent show 'The Voice,' which will be back on TV screens on September 21 with a new set of blind auditions.
