2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony Honoring Whitney Houston and Notorious B.I.G. Postponed Until November

Sadly, the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is one of the most recent high-profile events to be added to the array of cancellations and postponements amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Per HBO’s press release:

The 2020 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY has been rescheduled for SATURDAY, NOV. 7, with the live broadcast from the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio kicking off at 8:00 p.m. ET on HBO.

Whitney Houston and Notorious B.I.G. were among the list of esteemed inductees. This marks the first time the ceremony will be broadcast live on HBO.

Earlier this month, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame decided to temporarily close their museum to the public from March 14 through March 27. The institution confirmed all further updates will be posted to their website.
