Many are speculating that the show might go on without an audience, but no further details have been confirmed.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards were scheduled to air live on FOX Sunday, March 29 at 8 pm ET.
Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Morgan Wallen, Dan + Shay, Billy Ray Cyrus Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Justin Moore, Jimmie Allen, Matt Stell, Riley Green and Runaway June are among the country artists nominated for iHeartRadio Music Awards.
