Overview
- Sade confirmed on the band's website that the group will not attend the induction and said the absence does not diminish the honor.
- At least three Class of 2026 inductees—Sade, Oasis and Iron Maiden—have announced they will not appear at the ceremony.
- The induction is still set to be taped at Los Angeles’s Peacock Theatre on Nov. 14 and to air on ABC and streaming platforms in December.
- Reported reasons for no-shows include scheduling conflicts and deliberate decisions, and the Rock Hall has not detailed how absent honorees will be acknowledged during the taping.
- The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has a long history of notable no-shows, a record that shapes expectations about how the televised special will handle missing acts and acceptance speeches.
