MERCURY PRIZE POSTPONED

The 2022 Mercury Prize ceremony has been postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. A new date for the ceremony, which was scheduled to begin an hour after the news was announced, has yet to be determined.

Messages displayed onscreen for guests who'd already arrived read: “In light of the sad news of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, we are sorry to announce that we will not be proceeding with this evening's event as planned. Mercury Prize will be communicating with guests and audience members over the coming days. We thank you for your understanding at this difficult and sad time.”

Harry Styles, Little Simz, Sam Fender and Wet Leg are among this year’s 12 nominees for Album of the Year, 11 of whom were confirmed to perform at London’s Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith for the event.
