The 62nd Grammy Awards will be held on January 26, 2020, and it will be hosted by Alicia Keys, making her the third woman and the first female musician to host the show twice in a row.

This is coming barely a few hours after Burna Boy pulled out from his highly publicised anti-xenophobia concert “Africa Unite” in South Africa, following threats of violence by the host country.
