Hello, BRITain!

Adele will attend awards.. and ‘Rich sends his love’

Well, this has come as a Brit of a relief...

At the 11th hour, Adele has confirmed she WILL fly to the UK to perform at next week’s BRIT Awards – after leaving bosses in limbo over the past few weeks.

The singer – who tearfully shelved her Las Vegas residency last month – says she is “looking forward” to Tuesday’s ceremony, where she is up for four awards. “I’m really happy to say that I am performing at the BRITs next week,” the singer said excitedly.

And in a bid to tackle rumours in the US that her relationship with sports agent Rich Paul had hit a “rocky patch”, she added pointedly: “Oh, and Rich sends his love.” Following her Vegas no-show it had been claimed Adele, 33, was going to stay in the US and appear at the BRITs via video link. Now she will be at London’s O2 to face off with Ed Sheeran in four categories, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, which also features rappers Dave and Little Simz.
