The GRAMMYs have been postponed due to the Omicron variant.
The 64th Grammy Awards will not take place Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, due to the rapid spread of the highly infectious Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
“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 group said in a joint statement with CBS, its longtime television partner. “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.
Specific plans for the ceremony weren’t immediately announced. In an interview in November, academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. told The Times he was “excited about having audience members back in seats” for the 2022 show after 2021’s edition, which combined live and pre-taped performances in a crowd-free environment in and around the L.A. Convention Center.
