Overview
- Rodgers announced on Nov. 3 that he will not attend or perform at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, saying he must prioritize his health.
- His statement ends plans for a brief reunion performance that Kirke had hinted at last week during pre-ceremony interviews.
- Kirke will accept the honor and perform with “outstanding musicians,” according to Rodgers’ post on the band’s official accounts.
- The induction takes place Saturday at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre, streaming live on Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET, with an ABC highlights special on Jan. 1 and next-day streaming on Hulu.
- Rodgers’ decision follows a decade of health challenges reported as two major strokes and 11 minor strokes; Bad Company last performed in 2019, and founding guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Boz Burrell are deceased.
