Adele has been given the all clear to perform at this weekend's Grammy awards.

Grammy president Neil Portnow has revealed he asked her doctor to confirm she's safe to sing.

Neil told The Sun "All of us in the industry were concerned." But added that the doctor has allayed his fears.

He said: "He performs medical miracles on many other recording artists and he told me she was remarkably resilient and would shine and soar.

"Expectations are high but they will be met."
