Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony proceeds with many inductees absent

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 06:08 · Archive

Many of this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are skipping the ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This year's class of inductees includes Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Sade, Queen Latifah, New Order, Luther Vandross and Iron Maiden, but many are not attending or performing.

Oasis will not be there. Guitarist Noel Gallagher is playing a gig in Britain, and his younger brother Liam Gallagher said he does not want to come. 'It's too far to be going for the night,' he said on the social platform X, adding that he dislikes award ceremonies. Iron Maiden will be on tour in Australia, and Sade is opting to sit it out. Phil Collins is likely to attend but said he must decline from playing his songs for health reasons. Key members of New Order, getting a joint induction with their previous incarnation Joy Division, will also be absent due to health issues.

After streaming the ceremony live in previous years, the Rock Hall is returning to an earlier model where the public will not see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ on 9 December.
