Foreigner Members Dennis Elliot and Mick Jones to Skip Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction

Foreigner will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this Saturday (Oct. 19), but without two members in attendance: s Dennis Elliott and Mick Jones.

“We were finally given the schedule last night, and it is not to our satisfaction. So we are staying home,” he wrote on Facebook. “We have been asking for this for weeks, and they have waited until the very last minute to send it knowing we were all packed and going to bed. Totally unacceptable to us.”

According to Billboard, spouses were not allowed to walk the red carpet with band members, creating some friction. Additionally, Jones’ health issues are preventing him from attending.

Foreigner singer Lou Gramm, keyboardist Al Greenwood and bassist Rick Wills will be attending the induction and will also be performing with Demi Lovato, Sammy Hagar, Kelly Clarkson and others. 

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, taking place at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, will stream live on Disney+ at 7 p.m. ET.

On Jan. 1, ABC will air the special 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, featuring performance highlights.
