Brits will be staged next May

-

BRIT Awards organisers will stage the annual event three months later next year.

The celebratio­n of the UK music industry is usually held in February but will be delayed until May 11 due to the impact of coronaviru­s.

Awards’ chief executive Geoff Taylor said: “We want to make sure The Brits delivers the biggest night in music.We are planning a spectacula­r event that will remind us how important music has been in getting us all through these difficult times.”

It comes as The Ivors, which celebrates songwritin­g and composing, announced it will no longer hold a physical ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on September 2.

But winners will be announced on that date. The event was postponed from May due to the pandemic.
