Adele will make her live comeback at the Grammys next month and said she “can’t wait” to perform at the awards ceremony.

The singer from Haringey is also due to perform at the Brit Awards a week later, three months after surgery to cure a voice-threatening condition.

The Someone Like You star told fans on Twitter: “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.”

She underwent an operation in the US in early November after being diagnosed with a vocal cord haemorrhage, which could have wrecked her singing voice forever.

The record-breaking star who is famous for her blaring, full-throated vocals, sold 3.7 million copies of her album 21 last year - had to cancel a string of live shows due to her throat problems.

She had complained earlier of her voice just “switching off”, a problem which caused concern for many months. Surgery means that is now unlikely to happen.

Adele is among the nominees for the Grammy Awards, in Los Angeles on Sunday February 12, where she is in the running for six prizes.
