Adele is almost ready to set fire to the stage once again!

The bestselling artist of 2011 is planning to sing at next month's Brit Awards, where she's nominated for Album of the Year, Best Female Solo Artist and Best British Single.

Considering the songbird has been silent for months, that's just grand news! "F--king happy. Thanks for the nods," Adele agreed via Twitter.

But wait, the Brits are Feb. 21, after the Grammys, where Adele is nominated six times...

Though the Grammys are a mere nine days before the Brit Awards, Adele's pipes have been through quite the ordeal and she has not yet publicly committed to singing at the Feb. 12 ceremony and will not be giving an official answer until early next month.

On a positive note, the rumors go so far as to say Adele is going to open the Grammys—which would be a heck of a comeback after undergoing surgery in November to remove a hemorrhage-causing polyp near her vocal cords.

But even if she doesn't sing, at least we can count on a speech or two (or six)...

"Looking forward to @theGRAMMYs on Feb 12! #WeAreMusic," Adele tweeted, along with one of the new posters (starring Adele!) hyping the 54th Grammy Awards.

At the Brit Awards, meanwhile, Adele will share the spotlight with fellow nominees like Florence + the Machine, P.J. Harvey, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Foster the People. (For a complete list of nominees, go to www.brits.co.uk/nominees.)
