Bad Company Cancels Rock Hall Reunion Due to Paul Rodgers' Health

Bad Company, the legendary English rock band, will not perform at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony as originally planned due to frontman Paul Rodgers prioritizing his health. Rodgers, who has suffered multiple strokes over the past decade, confirmed via Instagram that although he has no trouble singing, the overall stress prevents his participation. Drummer Simon Kirke will perform with an all-star lineup to keep the band's music alive during the event. The reunion would have marked their first performance together since 2019, but Rodgers' health challenges have led to the group's retirement in 2023. Despite initial excitement and confirmation from Kirke about the performance, Rodgers' recent announcement means the band will be represented without him. The induction ceremony will also feature appearances by other notable artists like Iggy Pop, Olivia Rodrigo, and Elton John.
