Dancing With the Stars Is Dealing With Another Pro Dancer Absence Tonight
Adele to miss opening number
Adele said she was feeling unwell and would not perform in the Dancing With the Stars opening number. She was due to take part in the group routine for Disney Night.

Connor Wood and Tatyana Ali will serve as captains for the two groups. The dances will be judged under modified scoring rules.
