Amidst the L.A. wildfires, The Weeknd has delayed his Hurry Up Tomorrow album drop and canceled its accompanying show, while Beyoncé paused her announcement that had been scheduled for Jan. 14. Keep watching to see the events that have been delayed or canceled due to the ongoing wildfires.
Tetris Kelly:
Beyoncé pauses her big announcement as fires blaze through California, as well as The Weeknd delays and changes plans, and some Grammy events are canceled. We have the updates. After Beyoncé’s big Christmas Netflix and NFL performance, she released an ad hyping up a surprise on Jan. 14, but with tragedy on the minds of many, she released this statement:
“The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles. To join our efforts in supporting those impacted, please visit BeyGOOD. Love, B”
Which is leading fans to believe it was a tour that would be announced that would have required financial commitment. And with the Grammys around the corner, The Recording Academy announced the show will continue on Feb. 2 while raising funds for wildfire relief, while some labels like Universal Music Group have canceled their Grammy-related events.
Also, The Weeknd has delayed the Jan. 24 release of his Hurry Up Tomorrow album to Jan. 31, and canceled its accompanying Jan. 25 Rose Bowl concert.
We will continue to keep you posted on how these fires affect the music industry at large. And for more info on how to get involved, head to Billboard.com.
