The Academy canceled some of its events leading up to the Awards show and has repurposed others to heighten focus on fundraising for relief

The Recording Academy has released a 'condensed' Grammy Week schedule, focusing on 'events that can be most impactful' for L.A. wildfire relief.

Grammys will proceed as planned on Feb. 2, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, as Los Angeles faces several deadly wildfires.

In addition to that stacked list of performers, Bert Kreischer will present the gala, and Andy Cohen will serve as the evening host. Andy Cohen is a giant Deadhead who went viral last year for dancing his heart out at Dead & Company’s show at The Las Vegas Sphere.

The Recording Academy and MusiCares launched a relief program to support musicians and professionals impacted by the ongoing fires in L.A.

MusiCares' Person of the Year event, honoring the Grateful Dead, is moving ahead 'with a special appeal for donations to support wildfire relief.'

On Monday, it was announced that both the Grammys and Oscars would proceed as planned on February 2 and March 2, respectively, answering a question that has been debated behind the scenes by decision makers tasked with figuring out how to proceed with award season as Los Angeles grapples with devastating wildfires.

The Recording Academy announced it had condensed pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element.

Garth Hudson, the multitalented musical genius who elevated The Band while remaining its most reserved member, died Tuesday. He was 87. Hudson, who was the last surviving member of the group, died in his sleep at a nursing home in Woodstock, N.Y., according to the Toronto Star. His exact cause of death was not announced.

Trevor Noah is returning for the fifth consecutive year as the host of the Grammy Awards. After the devastating wildfires in LA, the Recording Academy says it will raise funds to support relief efforts and honoring first responders as well.
