The 2021 Grammy’s initially planned for January 31, have been postponed to March 14 due to panics over the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The new date was confirmed in a statement released and was made available to newsmen.
According to the statement, they arrived at the new date after serious discussions with health experts, the host, and artists planned to appear.
‘‘The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those in our music community and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly on producing the show,’’ the statement read.
The Grammys had already planned on a limited show for 2021, forgoing an audience completely and only allowing presenters and performers on-site during the show.
They said nominated artists wouldn’t have been allowed on-site either, likely leading to a situation similar to the 2020 Emmys where nominees appeared and accepted awards remotely.
