Phil Collins, Billy Idol and Iron Maiden are among the artists who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at a November ceremony in downtown Los Angeles.
Other artists who will be inducted into the hallowed hall at the Nov. 14 ceremony at the Peacock Theater are Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan in the performer category. Early Influence Award honorees will be Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Gram Parsons. Receiving the Musical Excellence Award will be Linda Creed, Arif Mardin, Jimmy Miller and Rick Rubin. Legendary TV host Ed Sullivan will be inducted and receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
The inductees were announced Monday by Ryan Seacrest and 2022 inductee Lionel Richie during a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-themed episode of “American Idol.”
“Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is music’s highest honor. We look forward to celebrating these remarkable artists at this year’s ceremony. It’s going to be an unforgettable night,” John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, said in a statement.
To be eligible for induction, an individual artist or band must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. Collins, Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan are first-time nominees, while Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis and Sade have been nominated previously. Collins was previously inducted into the hall as a member of Genesis.
This year’s ceremony will be recorded and shown later on ABC and Disney+ in December.
