Adele has confirmed she has recorded the theme for the forthcoming James Bond film, Skyfall.

She posted a picture of the song credits on her official Twitter page.

It comes after months of rumours and other people, aside from Adele, discussing it.

Traditionally, Sony Pictures, which distributes the Bond movies, and Eon Productions, the company in charge of Bond, issue a joint press release about who will be singing the theme song.

Sony has repeatedly declined to comment on speculation abut the theme.

Adele's photo appears to be the cover page of sheet music for the Skyfall theme.

It lists the composers as A(dele) Adkins and P(aul) Epworth - the producer and co-writer of her hit single Rolling In The Deep.

The music has been arranged by Epworth and film composer JAC Redford, whose credits include The Help, The Iron Lady and Wall-E.

Adele first hinted she would be working on the theme song during an interview on Jonathan Ross's chat show on ITV1 in September 2011.

"I'm going back in the studio in November, fingers crossed," Adele told Ross.

"Well this is actually a theme, what I've got to do for, um… Wow. That's really giving something away isn't it?"

Shortly after Adele's appearance on The Jonathan Ross show last September, her friend Tinie Tempah, said he'd spoken to Adele about her Bond recording.

Speaking at the Mercury Prize on 6 September, 2011, the rapper mentioned: "I was with her (Adele) yesterday, she was telling me about it and that's amazing."

He continued: "I've always wanted to do a Bond theme. I'm a bit jealous actually. No, let's leave it to her, it's always a really big diva that does it right?"

The 23rd Bond film, Skyfall, is due for release on 26 October, 2012.
