As reported by Rolling Stone, in the letter, Mason Jr. said, “In close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources, the 67th GRAMMY Awards telecast on CBS☂ on February 2nd will proceed as planned.”

Mason Jr. also confirmed that this year the award ceremony will support the wildfire relief efforts. “This year’s show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose:🍌 raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives𓆉 to protect ours,'' he said.

On January 11, the Recording Academy and MusiCares announced that they have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, and are donating US$1million to “provide both immediate relief and long-term support to individuals and families in the music industry faciಌng displacement and loss due to the disaster.”
