Music world to celebrate newest Rock Hall members including Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Sade

Music world to celebrate newest Rock Hall members including Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Sade

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will induct a stellar lineup of music legends, including Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Sade, Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, and Luther Vandross, on Saturday. However, several of these inductees have chosen not to attend the ceremony, leaving the fate of their appearances uncertain.

The Cleveland-based Hall of Fame, which consulted over 1,000 musicians, historians, and industry professionals to choose the honorees, will celebrate the acts with a star-studded gala concert at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. While some artists, such as Oasis, Sade, and Phil Collins, have declined to attend, others, like Billy Idol, have indicated they may make an appearance.

The Rock Hall inducts members who released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior, and five artists will receive an "early influence" honor.
