    Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Sade, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan and Luther Vandross get into Rock Hall

    Tuesday, April 14, 2026

    Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Queen Latifah, Oasis, Sade and Joy Division/New Order will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, along with first-time nominees Wu-Tang Clan and the late Luther Vandross.

    The list was revealed on Monday night's airing of "American Idol." Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they're eligible for induction. Nominees were voted on by more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals.

    Soft rocker Collins, who already is in the hall as a member of Genesis, has had such solo hits as "In the Air Tonight" and "One More Night," and has earned eight Grammys, including album of the year in 1985 for "No Jacket Required." Collins got in the first time he appeared on the ballot.

    Soul-jazz vocalist Sade, also nominated in 2024, had such soft rock hits as "Smooth Operator" and "The Sweetest Taboo." The Wu-Tang Clan have been hailed as rap innovators since their game-changing 1993 debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang."

    Iron Maiden, nominated twice before, helped power the new wave of British heavy metal with iconic albums like "The Number of the Beast." Vandross, who sold more than 25 million albums and had the hits "Here and Now" and "Any Love," died in 2005 and inspired Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther."

    This year, the hall will open its arms to the sounds of Manchester, England, inducting post-punk pioneers Joy Division and New Order — which shared most of the same members — as well as Britpop's recently reunited Oasis, made up of Noel and Liam Gallagher. Idol, also English, has brought a punky sneer to pop with songs like "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell."

    The induction will be held Nov. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los... Read More
