This is not the first time that a trial against R Kelly has been postponed.
This time, several witnesses, due to the corona pandemic, had problems getting to Chicago where the trial is to be held, reports AFP.
New date
In addition, it has been difficult for the court to find a new date as many other hearings have been postponed due to the pandemic.
The judge at the Chicago Court hopes to announce a new date in mid-December.
Bail
At the same time, R Kelly's lawyer announced that he will apply for Kelly to be released on bail.
The application has been rejected six times before.
R Kelly is charged with sex crimes in Minnesota and child pornography crimes in Chicago - where he is also in custody. R Kelly would also have been prosecuted for sexual assault, extortion and bribery in New York. R Kelly denies the allegations.
