Adele's well and Grammy bound, singer tweets

Adele let the big news out in a tweet: "Ima be, Ima be singing at the Grammys. It's been so long I started to forget I was a singer! I can't wait, speak soon xx"

Her "recurrent vocal cord hemorrhage" forced Adele to cancel her sold-out U.S. tour last October and she underwent laser microsurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in November.

"I'm immensely proud to have been asked to perform at this year's Grammy Awards," Adele said in the official news release. "It's an absolute honor 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."

There was uncertainty when the nominations were announced in late November if Adele's vocal cords would have healed enough to perform at the awards show, but it was clear producers wanted her.

Adele, who's already won two Grammys, is nominated for six new awards, including for record of the year, song of the year and best short form music video for "Rolling In The Deep;" album of the year and best pop vocal album for 21; and best pop solo performance for "Someone Like You."

Along with a "welcome back" to Adele, the 54th annual Grammys will include a "goodbye" performance by singer Glen Campbell.

Campbell, 75, launched his "Goodbye Tour" last year after revealing he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Campbell will be joined by current Grammy nominees Blake Shelton and The Band Perry for a live performance as part of a tribute to the five-time Grammy winner, the Recording Academy said.

Other previously announced Grammy performers include Jason Aldean onstage with Kelly Clarkson and Coldplay teaming with Rihanna. Also performing will be Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

LL COOL J will host the live telecast on CBS startig at 8 p.m. Sunday, February 12

Comment: Adele is one of the best singers nowadays. That she is singing on the Grammys is great! Adele has just recover from her surgery, so we will see if she sings as well as she did before. Performing in the Grammys is a great opportunity for all artistS, so to Adele will be a great moment. Since young people likes to listen electronic music, and the type of music that Adele sings is of another gender, its interesting that she is singing in the Grammys, the other interesting thing is that the other artists that are performing too in the Grammys belong to other genders of music, for example, Taylor Swift sings country, and Adele dosent. In the Grammys we will see if Adele haven't lose her talent or not.
