Liam Gallagher had previously criticized the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, saying he wasn't interested in receiving an award from 'some geriatric in a cowboy hat'. After the induction announcement, he posted a tongue-in-cheek 'acceptance speech' on X, thanking voters and calling it a real honor. He joked that his real acceptance speech would involve 'a box of chocolates and flowers' and an apology to organizers.
Liam Gallagher also hinted at a change of heart about the Hall of Fame, posting about 'reverse psychology vibes' after the nomination. Six British acts are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026, a record for the Hall's 40-year history. The previous record for British inductees in a single year was five, set in 2019.
As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: Do me a favor and f*** off. It's like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don't want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I've done more for rock & roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it's all a load of bollocks.
Artists become eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first commercial release. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selects nominees via a panel of around 40 music industry figures, before more than 1,200 voters cast ballots. The 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in November, before debuting on Disney+ in December.
Other inductees include Phil Collins, whose 2026 induction will be his second, having previously been honored as a member of Genesis in 2010, and Joy Division and New Order share a single induction in 2026. Noel Gallagher previously said he would not attend an induction ceremony, despite visiting the Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland.
I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it's a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I'd dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it's true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream LG x.
Well I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organization she's told me to stop being a dick and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it.
