Whereas rock followers proceed to debate the relevance and significance of the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame, the present should go on, with the 2024 Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame induction ceremony happening on October 19 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Loudwire introduced the large performances taking place at this yr’s ceremony, and there are some actually attention-grabbing ones to be careful for.
The massive information this yr is the all-star celebration of enviornment rockers Foreigner, who’re being inducted this yr, with Slash, Sammy Hagar, pop singer Demi Lovato, and Crimson Scorching Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith planning to carry out in tribute to the British rock group. Foreigner might be performing as effectively, however wouldn’t you somewhat see all these folks performing Foreigner songs than Foreigner themselves?
The Who’s Roger Daltrey and nation famous person (and not too long ago outed closet metalhead) Keith City might be doing a tribute to Peter Frampton. Dua Lipa might be honoring Cher, and James Taylor will crew up with nation artists Kenny Chesney and Mac McAnally for a Jimmy Buffett tribute.
One of many largest questions round this yr’s ceremony might be if Ozzy Osbourne, who enters the Corridor for the second time having already been inducted as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006, will carry out on the ceremony. Just a few days in the past the Scottish tabloid Day by day File reported that he would carry out on the ceremony, however Loudwire appears to counsel that’s nonetheless up within the air. No official affirmation has come out saying that Osbourne will carry out.
Osbourne has expressed a need to carry out in previous months, however whether or not he has the flexibility is one other query altogether. Again in March, Osbourne was requested about performing once more and, whereas he mentioned he needed to, he additionally admitted to having bother standing up. It could be nice to see Osbourne carry out yet one more time, however I’d additionally hate to see him push himself too onerous.
The induction ceremony is scheduled to stream dwell on Disney+ at 7 p.m. EDT on October 19 after which might be obtainable on-demand afterwards, with a highlights presentation airing on ABC for New 12 months’s Day.
