Ex-Oasis Members Alan White, Paul McGuigan Will Now Enter Rock Hall
Rolling Stone • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame initially omitted Oasis members Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and Alan “Whitey” White from the Class of 2026 inductees despite their significant contributions to the band during its peak years.
- Guigsy was the original bassist from 1991 to 1999, covering Oasis's golden era, while Whitey played drums on four of their seven albums, including the major 1995 release (What’s the Story) Morning Glory.
- Following public criticism and a #JusticeForGuigsy campaign, both musicians were added to the official Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website as inductees, correcting the initial oversight.
- The reasons behind the initial omission remain unclear, but the corrections are seen as the right move ahead of the induction ceremony scheduled for November 14.
- The article also suggests that other past Hall of Fame oversights, such as Ronnie James Dio with Black Sabbath and Dave Abbruzzese with Pearl Jam, should be reconsidered for induction.
