Paul McCartney Advocates for Joe Cocker's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction

McCartney's letter praises the late singer's unique contributions as Cocker earns a first-time nomination for the Class of 2025.

Paul McCartney penned a letter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame supporting Joe Cocker's nomination for the Class of 2025.
McCartney highlighted Cocker's imaginative rendition of The Beatles' 'With a Little Help From My Friends' as a standout contribution to rock history.
Joe Cocker, who passed away in 2014 at the age of 70, is a first-time nominee despite being eligible since 1994.
Cocker joins 13 other nominees this year, including Mariah Carey, Oasis, Outkast, and Cyndi Lauper, with the final inductees to be announced in late April.
The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is set to take place in Los Angeles this fall, with specific details forthcoming.
