Adele joins 2017 Grammy Award performers listJanuary 21, 2017 - 12:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - British singer/songwriter Adele is the latest act lined up for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. The "Rolling in the Deep" songstress will perform a song from her third album "25", which broke first-week sales records in multiple countries including the U.S. and the U.K., AceShowbiz said. Last year, a musical mishap interrupted Adele's 2016 Grammys performance of "All I Ask" as a microphone repeatedly hit the strings of the on-stage piano. Though she could handle the interruption, the incident left her an emotional wreck. Putting her disastrous performance behind, the 28-year-old singer will join John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban as performers for this year's ceremony. Nominated for five Grammys this year, the Londoner is up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for "25". In addition, she is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Hello". This year's list of nominees is led by Beyonce Knowles with nine nominations including Album of the Year for "Lemonade", as well as Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Formation". The visuals of the album, which debuted on HBO in April and earned four Emmy nominations, is also up for Best Music Film. Also in the running are Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West with eight nods apiece. The two rappers are vying for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song titles. Meanwhile, the Barbadian singer's "Work" is pitted against Beyonce's "Formation", Adele's "Hello", Lukas Graham's "7 Years" and Twenty One Pilots' "Stressed Out" in the Record of the Year category. The 59th Grammy Awards will be hosted by funnyman James Corden from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The annual award-giving ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS on Sunday, February 12 at 8 P.M.
