NO LIVE CEREMONY FOR ROCK HALL

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will honor the class of 2020 with an HBO special on 11/7 instead of a live ceremony in Cleveland.

“To protect the health and safety of our Inductees, their families, crews and our attendees, we’ve made the decision that the scheduled live event is not possible,” said John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “Together with HBO and executive producer Joel Gallen, we will still create an exciting program honoring our 2020 inductees, by telling the stories of their incredible contributions to music and impact on a generation of artists that followed them.”

This year’s honorees are Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, Notorious B.I.G. and T-Rex. Irving Azoff and Jon Landau are the Ahmet Ertegun Award honorees.

The ceremony was postponed to 11/7 from 5/2 at Cleveland’s Public Hall due to the coronavirus. Tickets to the show will be completely refunded.
