Sade and Iron Maiden won’t attend the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 14, and Oasis isn’t expected to show up. The event takes place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The Hall of Fame hasn’t confirmed who will be there. More than half of the living honorees may skip the night entirely, according to Billboard.
Sade, the band made up of Sade Adu, Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, and Andrew Hale, said in a statement that it won’t be there. “Please know that our absence takes nothing away from how much this recognition means to us,” the band said on their website.
Rolling Stone reported that neither Liam Gallagher nor Noel Gallagher of Oasis will travel to California. Noel has booked a solo set at the EFG London Jazz Festival on Saturday, his first solo show since the Oasis reunion tour in 2025. Oasis spokespeople didn’t reply when asked about the brothers’ plans.
Liam Gallagher wrote on X on Tuesday, Nov. 10, about the location. “If it was in the UK I’d be there but for some reason it’s in LA and that’s miles,” he wrote.
Iron Maiden has a scheduling problem. Its Australian tour clashes with the date. The band continued its Run For Your Lives world tour in Adelaide on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and has shows set for Friday, Nov. 13, and Sunday, Nov. 15.Â
Phil Collins, 75, plans to attend but has said he can’t perform. He hasn’t played live since March 2022. Billy Idol, 70, is expected to show up and play.
Eight of the inductees got in through the performer category. A nominating committee put them up for a vote by more than 1,200 people, a group that included music industry figures and historians.
The ceremony will be taped Saturday. A prime-time special will air on ABC on Dec. 8 and stream the next day.
