Adele to Perform at the Grammys January 31, 2012, 11:39 am Adele will perform at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 12, making her first appearance since undergoing throat surgery last fall, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday. "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," the British singer and songwriter said in a statement. Adele is widely expected to be a big winner at this year's Grammy Awards, after having the biggest selling album of last year, "21," (XL/Columbia) and dominating the charts in 2011 on both sides of the Atlantic with her singles "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain." But her voice - with its raspy soulful timbre always on the point of breaking - suffered from the strain of touring and she was forced to cancel a sold-out United States tour to undergo surgery in November to stop bleeding in her larynx. Until this week, it remained unclear whether she would be able to perform at the awards ceremony, which will be broadcast on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
