Stereogum • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Iron Maiden, recently announced as inductees into this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, will not attend the induction ceremony due to their ongoing tour in Australia.
- Despite frontman Bruce Dickinson's past criticism of the Rock Hall, the band's absence is logistical rather than hostile.
- A tribute performance was organized featuring a supergroup with St. Vincent, Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, Mötley Crüe's John 5, and Rage Against The Machine's Brad Wilk, covering Iron Maiden's "The Trooper."
- Jack Black, who inducted Iron Maiden, also participated in the tribute performance.
- The ceremony was held at LA's Peacock Theater without a livestream, will air on ABC on December 8, and later stream on Disney+.
