It's obvious that it's due to B. B. King's death tho. The conspiracy theories
Billboard kept confirming the performance days after his death. If it really was because of him, they should have said that instead of literally lying to fans and reiterating that the performance was happening.
yes this was tragic but every harmonizer knows how bad Epic/their management sucks and we're used to it so there's no point getting mad
this could've been huge for them but oh well, they've got DWTS on tuesday which has as many, if not more, viewers than the BBMAs
