British soul singer Adele is to make her much-awaited comeback after throat surgery at the upcoming Grammys show.

Adele, who is nominated for six awards including three of the key categories at the February 12 show, has been out of action since October when a throat problem forced her to cancel all engagements for the rest of the year.

“I’m immensely proud to have been asked to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards,” said Adele, whose hits include Someone Like You and Rolling in the Deep, in a statement issued by Grammys organisers The Recording Academy. “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,” she added.

The Grammys will also feature performances from pop legend Paul McCartney, as well as Coldplay, Rihanna, the Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift.
