Today, January 14, Beyoncé had a big announcement to make. This was promised during his big Christmas Super Bowl, available on Netflix, in which he only performed songs taken from his latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter’.
However, the artist has decided to postpone the announcement sine die: «The January 14 announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the disaster caused by the fires that continue around Los Angeles. I continue to pray for healing and reconstruction for the families who have suffered this trauma and loss. “It is a blessing that we have brave troops who continue to work for the souls of these families.”
The same path has been chosen by Nine Inch Nails, as reported by the NME. The group had to confirm today that they were going on tour this year, but have postponed it due to the fires. It just doesn’t seem like the right time.
While the Grammys have confirmed that they will continue to be held on February 2, Universal and Warner have announced that they will cancel their parties related to this event. The reading of the Oscar nominations has been postponed for a week, until January 23. The Weeknd has also postponed his album by a week.
In addition to delaying the announcement of what we guess will be her new tour, Beyoncé has made a donation of $2.5 million to support both the victims of the Los Angeles fires and the forces responsible for mitigating them. He has done this through his foundation, BeyGOOD. The superstar’s donations, to which fans can also contribute, will go to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund, determined to “help families who have lost their homes in the Altadena and Pasadena areas.”
