Adele will perform at the Grammy Awards ceremony

Adele announced that she will take part in upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony that will be held next week. It is set to become singer's first live performance since she had to cancel her tour last autumn due to problem with vocal chords.

In her official statement Adele claimed that she is very proud to perform at the Grammy Awards.

"It's an absolute honour to be included in such a night and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a way to get back into it all", said she.

Earlier Kanye West claimed he was very happy to learn that he has scored seven nominations for Grammy Awards 2012. Rapper – who has got more nods than any other artist – also claimed he is going to "blow up" upcoming ceremony.

Foo Fighters have got six nominations, while Adele will compete for five honors, including Record Of The Year award for her song Rolling In The Deep (which can also go to Bon Iver for Holocene, Bruno Mars for Grenade, Mumford & Sons for The Cave or Katy Perry for Firework).
