Mercury Prize 2022 have reportedly cancelled their plans for a red carpet ahead of this evening's ceremony out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II.
According to the Metro, the awards ceremony is still expected to go ahead as planned later this evening [September 8], but it is understood that the celebrities and nominees in attendance will not walk the red carpet at the Eventim Apollo, London.
The Mercury Prize's red carpet being axed comes after news broke that "doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health" earlier today, following weeks of speculation surrounding the monarch's wellbeing.
