Grammy Awards postponed amid COVID-19 concerns

Billie Eilish has announced that she’s had to postpone a couple of dates on the US leg of her upcoming ‘Happier Than Ever’ world tour.The tour is set to kick off in New Orleans on February 3 and includes two nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden on February 18-19, and will wrap up with three nights at LA’s Forum on April 6, 8 and 9 before heading to the UK and Europe.Tonight (January 25), Eilish’s team took to Twitter to inform fans that “due to local guidelines and an abundance of caution” her February 15 and 16 shows in Montreal and Toronto have been postponed.“Details on rescheduled dates to be announced, and all tickets will be honoured for the new dates,” the tweet shared on Eilish’s official account added. “Thank you for understanding and please stay safe.”It was also announced that Eilish has had to reschedule her show in Phoenix on April 3 due to a scheduling conflict, after this year’s Grammys were moved from late January to the date in question.“Billie’s second show in Phoenix on Sunday, April 3rd has been rescheduled to Monday, April 4th due to the new date for the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards,” her team tweeted.

Adele and just-announced Silk Sonic will be performing Vegas residencies at the time the Grammys take place — and they both happen to have the night of April 3 off! (Reps for the artists mentioned in this article either declined or did not respond to Variety’s requests for comment.) Of course, Adele is not nominated for the 2022 Grammys, with “30,” her first album in years, arriving well outside of the eligibility period — but that didn’t stop the Grammys from booking Silk Sonic last year, and when one considers a) the viewers that an Adele performance would bring to the Grammy broadcast and b) the additional buzz it would bring for Adele’s already-oversold Vegas residency (which presumably could be extended for as long as her heart desires and her vocal cords can stand), it’s win/win/win. Likewise, it’s rare for the same artist to perform on two consecutive Grammys, but Silk Sonic’s four nominations — not to mention one of the biggest singles of the year — may overrule that loose rule.Looking at the nominees list, there’s Jon Batiste at the top with a near-record 11 nods, not only for his genre-spanning “We Are” album but also for his stellar work on Pixar’s “Soul” film.
