Tedeschi Trucks Band, Chappell Roan, & The Killers Join Rock Hall's 40th Induction Ceremony
Music history is about to get a serious upgrade. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 40th annual induction ceremony on November 8 at LA's Peacock Theater is honoring icons who shaped the soundtrack of our lives and finally getting their due recognition. 🎸🌟
This year's class includes Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, and Chubby Checker, who famously protested his exclusion back in 2002 and is now being celebrated as the oldest inductee. Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon receive the Musical Influence Award, while Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye are honored with the Musical Excellence Award for their groundbreaking contributions.
The star-studded ceremony features performances from Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nathaniel Rateliff, Chappell Roan, The Killers, Elton John, and Brandi Carlile. Streaming live on Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET, it's a celebration of the originality, impact, and influence that changed music forever. 🎶💫
🫶 Artists Doing Good
P!nk to Receive Humanitarian Award for Fighting Hunger and Championing the Vulnerable
When P!nk uses her voice, the world listens, and she's been using her platform to fight for those who need it most. Action Against Hunger has named the Grammy-winning powerhouse as its 2025 Humanitarian Award recipient, honoring her tireless work raising millions for food security and disaster relief. 💪❤️
The recognition comes at a critical time. With USAID funding eliminated, Action Against Hunger faces a $6 million gap affecting programs that reach 21 million people across 59 countries. Their "Whatever It Takes" gala on January 30, 2026, will raise funds to continue treating over 750,000 malnourished children annually with a 90% recovery rate and responding to 47 humanitarian emergencies worldwide.
P!nk has spent her career championing the vulnerable, using her visibility to spotlight stories of those too often left unheard. From disaster relief to the ongoing fight against hunger, she's proven that being a superstar means standing up for those who can't stand on their own. This is what doing good looks like using your platform to save lives and create lasting change. 🌟🌍
