How the ceremony is handling the LA Fires
With the ongoing fires in Los Angeles that resulted in, at one point, close to 200,000 people under evacuation orders, the fate of the GRAMMYS seemed up in the air. With over 12,000 structures destroyed and thousands without homes, the show will still go on, with CBS aiming to give back.
Plus the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort with $1 million to help music creatives affected by the fires. Since then, the fund has grown, distributing over $3.2 million in emergency aid to assist music professionals affected by the fires.
This year’s telecast “will be reimagined to raise funds to support wildfire relief efforts and aid music professionals impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles,” according to a news release. Viewers can donate to the Recording Academy’s and MusiCares’ Los Angeles Fire relief effort fund to support music professionals impacted by the crisis.
