The Grammy Awards have officially been postponed.
According to Variety, the prestigious award show was set to take place Jan. 31 but has now been "postponed indefinitely due to coronavirus-related concerns."
A new date has yet to be confirmed by the Recording Academy.
The Recording Academy and CBS released a joint statement regarding the postponement:
“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.
