Adele wins Brit Award for Bond hit

As one of the biggest names — and voices — on the planet, Adele was a natural choice to sing the theme to the latest Bond movie Skyfall, which was last night named best single at the Brits.

The track, which missed out on a No 1, marked Adele’s return to recording since the major surgery she underwent as a result of a vocal cord haemorrhage in late 2011. She is also tipped to win an Oscar for the song at the weekend, after already collecting a Golden Globe.

Adele, 24, has now accumulated sales of more than 10m for her second album 21 in the US alone.
