The ceremony, which recognises the best British or Irish album of the year, will be held at a later date
The Mercury prize ceremony, which was due to take place on Thursday night, has been postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. A new date for the ceremony, which recognises the best British or Irish album of the year, has yet to be announced.
The introductory stages of the evening, held at the London Eventim Apollo, were already under way when news of the monarch’s death broke.
