Rock Hall ‘Insider’ Reveals Bad Company to Be Inducted This Year
It has been revealed that Bad Company, the iconic band from the 70s, will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class. Simon Kirke, the drummer for Bad Company, shared this exciting news in an interview with Paul Stephenson of VRP Rock, stating that an insider from the Rock Hall informed him of the induction. Kirke also mentioned that they have already discussed performing their hit song “Can’t Get Enough” during the induction ceremony.
Typically, artists are given a three-song set to perform during their induction, and if “Can’t Get Enough” is one of Bad Company’s choices, they have a plethora of other classic hits to choose from for the rest of their set. The band, known for their numerous timeless rock anthems, will surely deliver a memorable performance at the ceremony.
Bad Company’s inclusion in the Rock Hall comes after they secured the second spot in the 2025 Rock Hall Fan Vote. While being on the Fans Ballot does not guarantee induction, Bad Company received a significant amount of support, accounting for 10.99% of all votes cast. The top seven vote recipients out of the 14 nominees will be featured on the Fans Ballot, which will be considered alongside all other submitted ballots.
The results of the Fan Vote showcase the enthusiasm and dedication of Bad Company’s fan base, with the band accumulating an impressive 280,725 votes. Despite not clinching the top spot in the vote, their strong showing certainly made an impact and added to their momentum leading up to the induction announcement.
The much-anticipated announcement of the 2025 Rock Hall inductees will be made during the April 27 episode of American Idol, airing on ABC at 8 p.m. EDT. The induction ceremony is set to take place in Los Angeles in the fall, although the exact date is yet to be disclosed. Fans and music lovers alike are eagerly awaiting the ceremony to witness Bad Company’s well-deserved entry into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
In conclusion, the induction of Bad Company into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a testament to their enduring impact on the music industry and their dedicated fan base. As they gear up for their upcoming induction ceremony, all eyes will be on the band as they take the stage to celebrate their remarkable career and musical legacy. Congratulations to Bad Company on this well-deserved honor, and here’s to many more years of rocking out to their classic tunes.
