Fans and industry watchers alike breathed a sigh of relief as Adele sang a few verses of her hit song on a show. She wowed fans in her first public singing outing since throat surgery in November, putting to rest fears that her distinctive husky voice may have been damaged.
The soulful British singer, 23, is due to make her official performance comeback at the Grammy Awards on Sunday where she is expected to take home an armful of trophies following the worldwide success of her album ‘21’. American TV viewers heard her sing three verses, a cappella, of her hit song ‘Rolling In The Deep’. “Thank the music gods that she sounds just as perfect as she did before that haemorrhaged vocal chord,” wrote a music critic. HollywoodLife.com said Adele “sounds amazing”. Adele was forced to cancel part of her U.S. tour last year because of persistent vocal problems.
In November, she underwent laser surgery to remove a haemorrhaged polyp on her vocal cords and was ordered to take two months of vocal rest. Organisers confirmed only 10 days ago that she would be performing at the Grammy Awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday, where she has six nominations, including the coveted record, album and song of the year.
