Rock Hall Ceremony Expects Major Inductee Absences

Several prominent 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are expected to miss Saturday’s ceremony at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater. Oasis, Sade and Iron Maiden have confirmed they will not attend, citing scheduling or other reasons, while Joy Division/New Order members Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert are also staying away because of health-related circumstances; former bassist Peter Hook plans to attend. Phil Collins is expected to be there but will not perform, leaving Billy Idol and Wu-Tang Clan among the few inductees expected to take the stage. Organizers have not disclosed the full lineup of presenters or guest performers, leaving the ceremony’s musical program uncertain. An edited special is scheduled to air on ABC and Disney+ in December.
