Adele will be the opening act for the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
It will be the first time the British songstress has performed since having surgery on vocal chords five months ago. Adele is nominated for six awards, including album of the year, record of the year, and song of the year for her second album, 21.
Already a two-time Grammy winner, the red haired beauty "is very excited and nervous about her performance. Adele places so much pressure on herself, and always has tremendous anxiety about performing,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com. “Grammy producers have told her she can have back up vocals available that could be played during her performance, and she has flatly turned them down. Adele appreciates the gesture, and in no way were the producers suggesting that she lip synch, it would be used to enhance her performance, but Adele says she is making her comeback performance in her voice, live. Artists routinely have back up vocals on standby, but Adele won't be using any.”

Brown is nominated for three Grammys.
