Many big names to skip Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 07:01 · Archive

Many of this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will not attend Saturday's ceremony in Los Angeles.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This year's inductees include Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Sade, Queen Latifah, New Order, Luther Vandross, Iron Maiden and Oasis, among others.

Despite the prestigious occasion, many of this year's inductees will not attend or perform. Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher is playing a gig in Britain, while his brother Liam Gallagher said he did not want to come. 'It's too far to be going for the night,' he said on the social platform X. 'I don't like award ceremonies they freak me out I don't know why I just get weird vibes.' Iron Maiden will be on tour in Australia, and Sade is opting to sit out the ceremony. Phil Collins is likely to appear but said he had to decline from playing his songs for health reasons. Key members of New Order are also out for health reasons.

The ceremony will differ from recent years by not streaming live to the public. An edited version will air on ABC and Disney+ on 9 December. Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah and MC Lyte are all expected to appear and probably perform, while Billy Idol and his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens are expected to take the stage.
