The 64th annual Grammy Awards have been postponed due to concerns relating to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The ceremony was due to take place on January 31, but has been put on hold due to the "uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant", with a rescheduled date yet to be confirmed. In a joint statement, the Recording Academy and CBS said:
“After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards Show. The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night on a future date, which will be announced soon.”
Head here for a full list of nominees, including Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, H.E.R., Doja Cat, Billie Eilish and Jon Batiste, who leads the pack with 11 nominations.
Last year's ceremony was moved from January to March due to COVID-19.
