2021 Grammy Awards postponed as COVID-19 ravages the world
The 63rd Grammy Awards has been postponed due to surging numbers of COVID-19 infections in the United States of America.
List of nominees for this year’s Grammy was released in November last year with Nigerian artist Burna Boy nominated in the Best Global Music category.Â
The awards earlier scheduled to be held at Los Angeles on January 31 has now been postponed to March due to COVID-19 concerns, New York Times reported on Tuesday.Â
