The 51st Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony has been pushed back an entire year due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
Originally set to take place on June 11, the next awards gala will instead be held on June 10, 2021 at the Marriott Marquis New York, organizers announced Tuesday."In facing the reality of the future being unknown and the extraordinary number of schedules which would have to be rearranged, although sad and very disappointing, it seemed to be more prudent and in the best interests and well-being of everyone, especially our inductees, honorees, and guests to move the 2020 class of inductees and honorees in its entirety to next year's gala when they can be truly celebrated," said Linda Moran, the SHOF.
