The Grammy Awards have been officially postponed.

The event, which is known as music’s greatest night, was set to take place in Los Angeles on January 31.
The event will take place at a later date to be announced soon, according to the organizers.
Their major goal was the health and safety of the music community, the live audience, and hundreds of personnel, they stressed.
