GRAMMYS POSTPONED OVER COV ID CONCERNS IN LOS ANGELES

The Grammy Awards ceremony that was set for Jan. 31 has been postponed because of the coronavirus surge in Los Angeles, Rolling Stone magazine and Variety reported on Tuesday. The two outlets cited multiple sources as saying the ceremony to present the highest awards in the music industry may take place in March. The Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys, did not immediately return a request for comment. Los Angeles is experiencing a spike in coronavirus deaths and hospital admissions. Grammy organizers said late last year they were seeking to change the way the annual show was held, doing without audiences and the traditional red carpet.
