It was alleged that English singer-songwriter Adele is expected to make her first live performance at the Oscars’ 85th annual award show since her pregnancy.

It is said that the singer will perform the theme song to latest of the James Bond compilation Skyfall which she recorded.

It was announced that this year’s staging will be a tribute to James Bond as it celebrates 50 years of the 007 movie franchise.

It was also reported that Adele’s Skyfall track is expected to gain nomination for Best Original Song.
