In a joint statement released earlier today by the Recording Academy and CBS, it was announced that the 2022 Grammys, scheduled for Monday, January 31, have been postponed due to the “uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant.”
Read the full statement below:
“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 31 simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night® on a future date, which will be announced soon.”
