IT has been confirmed that Adele will make her
anticipated return to the stage when she performs ‘Skyfall’ at the 85th Academy
Awards next month.
It will be the first time the singer, who recently
gave birth to her first child, has performed the Bond theme live.
She said: "It's an honor to be nominated and
terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my
imagination over and over again. It's something I've never experienced and
probably only ever will once!"
‘Skyfall’ is the first Bond theme song to be
nominated for an Oscar since Sheena Easton's 'For Your Eyes Only' in 1981.
Show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said: "We
have enormous respect for Adele's unique artistry as a songwriter and a singer.
"She is currently one of the most successful
recording artists in the world, and we believe that her performance of
'Skyfall' will be an exciting Oscar moment for audiences watching at the Dolby
Theatre and on television screens around the world."
It is also rumored that all six Bonds - Sean
Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel
Craig – will appear together for the first time ever at the ceremony to mark
the movie franchise’s 50 years.
It is believed Adele’s performance could form the
centerpiece for the actors’ appearance on stage.
The 85th Academy Awards take place on February 24th.
