The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s Induction Ceremony Has Been Permanently Moved To The Fall

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony always manages to capture indelible moments, like when The Cure’s Robert Smith had an infamously apathetic response last year to an interviewer’s question about their induction. This year, however, the ceremony will look quite different. Not only will it be held virtually, but it will also take place this month rather than in May — and it looks like the ceremony’s schedule change is now permanent.
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame CEO Joel Peresman addressed the shift this week, according to NME. Peresman said that rather than starting the nomination process in September and announcing the new inductees at the beginning of the next year, the entire process will be pushed back several months. “We moved the timing of the ceremony,” he said of this year’s event. “We’re going to move the ceremony permanently so it’s in the fall of each year because of COVID.”
Peresman continued, “We’re also moving the nomination process. Normally, the nomination process starts in September, we announce the nominees in October, and then we announce the inductees in January. This time the nomination meetings will happen in January, so we’ll announce the nominees in February and start that voting process then.”
While the future of live events in the US remains uncertain, Peresman is remaining optimistic about next year. Peresman added that he’s “hopeful by next fall in some form that we’ll be able to get together again.”
Even though the event is virtual this year, the lineup is still stacked with big-name artists. David Grohl will kick things off by announcing this year’s inductees, which includes Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G., Whitney Houston, T. Rex, Depeche Mode, and the Doobie Brothers. Other artists that will make a digital appearance include Diddy, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Billy Idol, Iggy Pop, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, Chris Martin, Bruce Springsteen, St. Vincent, and more.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony streams on HBO 11/7 at 8 p.m. ET. Watch it here.

“Me After You” by Gianfranco GFN unveils a soulful rhythm of forbidden love and defiance
There’s something magnetic about Gianfranco GFN’s latest single, “Me After You.” It draws listeners deep into a striking symphony of unfiltered emotion and rebellious spirit. Collaborating with an ensemble of seasoned talents, GFN and Mystery Band deliver a sonic experience as captivating as cathartic. The composition dives into the lingering bittersweet agony of forbidden love and the aching emptiness left in its aftermath, resonating with anyone who has ever loved, lost, and fought to hold on against the odds.
The melody is a paradox of melancholy and defiance. Vladimir Carbone’s vocals lead the charge, pouring out lyricism that conveys heartbreak wrapped in resilience, his soulful voice a perfect conduit for vulnerability. Claude-Alain Biedermann’s haunting keyboard layers establish a dreamlike tone, while David Caraccio’s bassline and Nicolas Pittet’s drumming weave an irresistibly compelling groove. The instrumentals feel like a cathartic release: Gianfranco’s guitar work combines tenderness with rebellion, embracing a progressive auditory aesthetic that narrates the story of loss with every strum.
Lyrically, “Me After You” plunges deep into the sorrow of broken connections, but its undertone of rebellion challenges the rules that tore love apart. Lines like “Sad without you, I’m lost without you, and I miss you” strike a universal chord, making this more than a love ballad; it becomes an anthem of resistance that echoes like a heartbeat amidst the complexities of intimate relationships.
The track’s uplifting vibes and escapist energy offer a unique juxtaposition, turning heartache into something beautifully liberating. Gianfranco GFN doesn’t just craft music; he sculpts emotions into soundscapes. “Me After You” is a powerful reminder that love, even when forbidden, can leave a legacy of strength.
