The chairman for the BRIT Awards has revealed that Adele's shortened speech at last year's ceremony will be rectified at tonight's show.

The British songstress was famously cut short when she stepped on stage to accept the award for 'British Album' at last year's coveted ceremony.

During her speech to the audience and fans at home, Adele was interrupted by host James Corden as he introduced Blur onto the stage.

The annual ceremony's chairman David Joseph has revealed last year's situation was a terrible misjudgement  and will be put right at tonight's (February 20) proceedings at London's O2 Arena.

Speaking to The Guardian, he explained: "How can you take an artist who has made the biggest cultural impact musically this country has seen globally for some time and cut her off in the middle of her speech? I very much to this day question what was happening in that control booth."

He continued: "I can hint something is going to happen this year to rewrite that wrong. I'd stay tuned to this year's show to see if there is any form of squaring of that circle."

Chart-topping star Adele is competing in the 'British Single' category at the BRITs tonight for her soundtrack to James Bond film 'Skyfall' starring Daniel Craig.
