January 06, (THEWILL) – The 64th Grammy Awards has been postponed indefinitely following the unprecedented wave of COVID Omicron variants.
The Recording Academy disclosed that the awards were postponed indefinitely due to safety reasons.
THEWILL recalls that the awards show was initially billed for January 31. No new date has been announced yet.
