The biggest names in music are set to be honoured at the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony on Monday (NZT).
The ceremony, hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, will go ahead at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires that devastated California in January.
Organisers have said the ceremony will take place with “a renewed sense of purpose” amid the disaster, which claimed at least 29 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.
The Recording Academy released a statement earlier this month, saying, “Dear Recording Academy Members, Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
“This city is our home, and we mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to it in recent days.
“In response to this crisis, the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort last week with an initial US$1 million [$1.76m] donation to support music creatives and professionals.”
They added the 2025 Grammys would help raise “additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and [honour] the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”
Who is hosting the Grammys this year?
Trevor Noah, 40, will host the ceremony for the fifth year in a row.
