iHeartRadio has squashed any plans for hosting their annual awards celebration in 2020. The radio conglomerate announced on Monday (8/24) that the show will not go on as planned – but – that the winners from the previously announced nominations would be revealed soon.

According to Billboard, the 2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards, hosted by Usher, would be cancelled. Though the festivities may have been squashed this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the company revealed that the winners would be announced over Labor Day weekend (September 4-7) via the iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on social media. Fans can also expect acceptance speeches from the winners.
