Adele Will Perform at 2017 GRAMMYs
Adele has joined the 2017 Grammy's list of performers. She will perform a song from her latest album, 25. Other artists who'll be performing include John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.
Adele has won ten Grammys and is nominated for five more at this year's ceremony including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Hello, Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for 25.
The GRAMMYs are coming to City, February 12th.
Adele performed last year at the Grammys and suffered technical difficulties. During a performance of "All I Ask" her microphone dropped onto a piano's keys and it threw off the sound system.
“We had the most complicated show on television. Period. End of story. With each musical performance, we change over the microphones, the wires... She did a great job and we certainly don’t like when those things happen, but those things happen sometimes.”
Adele told Ellen that she took it pretty hard and "cried pretty much all day" following the screw-up, adding:
“Next time I have any sound issues, I am going to start over... In fairness, I would have cried it it went really well... I always cry. I was so embarrassed...”
What 5 years in professional Radio has done to my overall appearance...
Monday, May 2nd, I hosted the Algonquin College Radio Broadcasting Awards. Honoring top grads from a program I graduated from not too long ago. Looks like working in radio has done wonders for my sense of style... dunno about that other guy tho... ;)
