"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," Rodgers wrote in a statement posted to Bad Company's Instagram page."
"While Rodgers did not elaborate on his health in the statement, in 2023 he told CBS News that he had suffered two major strokes in 2016 and 2019, as well as 11 minor strokes, which had temporarily stripped him of his ability to speak. "I have no problem singing, it's the stress of everything else," Rodgers' statement continued. "Simon along with some outstanding musicians will be stepping in for me - guaranteed to rock.""
