I had similar last year. Turns out it was vine weevil and the plant died.
Check the soil very carefully to see if you see any grubs.

We planted an azalea last season in a rather shady spot; peat was mixed in
with the neutral to slightly acidic soil.
It is just starting to flower, but is not too happy, and in particular has
some leaves going yellow with black/brown patches (looks rather like black
spot). Does anyone know the problem (and the cure)? Thanks.
