The 64th annualGrammy Awards show has been postponed indefinitely due to a resurgence of Covid cases.
The health and safety of those in the music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work to produce our show remains our top priority, according to a joint statement by the Recording Academy and CBS.
Music's Biggest Night will not be held on January 31st due to the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant.
The ceremony was going to be broadcast by CBS, but it was canceled. The host of the Grammys is expected to be "The Daily Show's" Trevor Noah.
The awards ceremony was delayed for the second time due to the Pandemic. The show was moved to March 14, 2021, because of a spike in Covid cases in Los Angeles. The event was moved to the Los Angeles Convention Center to provide more space for guests.
Variety says that the Grammys require a 10-day or more lock out of the venue they are held in. The schedule for the arena doesn't seem to have that kind of opening until June.
A full show with a live audience is likely to be produced by the Recording Academy. Ratings for many televised award shows have declined in recent years, but the Grammys generate millions of dollars in revenue.
Jon Batiste, the bandleader on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," led the pack with 11 nominations. The chart topping artists received multiple nominations.
