"Only days after drummer Simon Kirke shared the exciting news that he would reunite with singer Paul Rodgers for a Bad Company performance during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Rodgers has backed out of the event citing his health. Bad Company are set to be inducted along with Soundgarden, OutKast, The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, and others this Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles."
"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. Thanks for understanding. Simon along with some outstanding musicians will be stepping in for me - guaranteed to rock. As Rodgers mentioned, there will still be a Bad Company performance, only it will be feature guest singers performing alongside Kirke and other musicians."
"Rodgers revealed a few years ago that he had suffered multiple strokes throughout the years, nearly ending his singing career. However, as he noted in his statement, his absence from the ceremony has nothing to do with his vocal abilities. Bad Company last performed in October 2019 in Las Vegas. See Paul Rodgers' Instagram post below."
Paul Rodgers withdrew from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction performance, citing health concerns and the stress surrounding the event. Simon Kirke, the surviving classic Bad Company drummer, will perform with outstanding guest singers and other musicians in Rodgers' place. Bad Company will be inducted alongside Soundgarden, OutKast, The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, and others at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Rodgers previously suffered multiple strokes that nearly ended his singing career, though the absence is not related to his vocal ability. Bad Company last performed in October 2019 in Las Vegas.
