Russia (bbabo.net), - The Grammy ceremony in the USA has been postponed. This was announced on Wednesday, January 5, the official website of the award. The reason was the rapid spread of a new strain of the coronavirus - omicron.

"After careful consideration and analysis with city and government officials, health and safety experts, the artist community, and our many Recording Academy and CBS partners, we have decided to postpone 64- 10th Annual Grammy Awards, the organizers said in a statement.

Yes, preparations for the ceremony have been going on since September 2021, but everything has changed in recent days, even the hours. After it became known that at the beginning of the week more than a million people fell ill in the United States ... And so the Recording Academy and CBS were forced to urgently accept this joint statement, which reminds that "the health and safety of our music community members, living audiences and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to create our show remain our top priority. "

At the same time, the organizers are especially concerned about the new strain of COVID-19.

And so their message also reads: “Given the uncertainty surrounding the omicron option, running the show on January 31 now carries too many risks. We look forward to celebrating the biggest musical night of the future (2022 Grammy Awards, - Ed.) But the date of the ceremony will be announced later, we hope that in the very near future. "
