Paul Rodgers to Skip Bad Company's Rock Hall Induction:

Paul Rodgers Withdraws from Bad Company's Rock Hall Induction

Shortly after drummer Simon Kirke announced that he would reunite with Paul Rodgers for a Bad Company appearance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Rodgers has decided not to participate due to health concerns.

Event Details and Band Induction

Bad Company is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, alongside Soundgarden, OutKast, The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, and others. Fans will not see the two surviving classic members of Bad Company perform together at the event.

Paul Rodgers' Statement

“My hope was to be at the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and to perform for the fans, but at this time I have to prioritize my health. I have no problem singing, it’s the stress of everything else. Simon along with some outstanding musicians will be stepping in for me – guaranteed to rock.”

Performance Adjustments

Despite Rodgers' absence, Bad Company will still perform with guest singers joining Simon Kirke and other musicians to deliver the performance.

Health Background

Rodgers had previously disclosed that he suffered multiple strokes over the years, which almost ended his singing career. However, he clarifies that his decision to skip the ceremony is unrelated to his vocal abilities.

Summary: Paul Rodgers has withdrawn from Bad Company's Rock Hall performance to focus on his health, with guest singers filling in alongside Simon Kirke for the event.
