British soul diva Adele hopes to add to her growing collection of prizes at the American Music Awards this weekend, even if she has had to be bow out because of throat problems. The 23-year-old has four nominations, followed closely Lady Gaga and Katy Perry among others with three nods for the annual star-studded awards, to be presented at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre on Sunday evening. Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber – last year’s big winner as artist of the year – will have to pin his prize hopes on his single nomination for best male rock or pop artist. The 17-year-old, who recently faced down a paternity suit, will join artists including Perry, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez and will.i.am at the star-studded event at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater.
