Adele“Chasing Pavements” was the 2008 Grammy award winning single from British Soul singer, Adele. Her idols include Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan, and once she opens her mouth, you can easily hear the similarities.

NEW YORK (AP) — Adele is nominated for six Grammys, and she’ll be there to collect anything she wins: The 23-year-old singer is set to perform at the awards show.

Adele had surgery on her vocal cords last year, and the Grammys will be the first time she has performed live in five months, The Recording Academy announced Tuesday.

Her sophomore album, “21,” has sold more than 6 million copies in the U.S. It is nominated for album of the year and best pop vocal album. The CD has three singles that have hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart, including “Rolling in the Deep,” which is up for record and song of the year.

The Grammys are Feb. 12 in Los Angeles.
