About four months ago, Billy Idol was in Cleveland to sing “No More Tears” as part of Ozzy Osbourne’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Asked backstage about Osbourne’s comment that Idol himself should be inducted, he noted that, “It was really lovely of him to say so. It would be really incredible.”

Now it may indeed be Idol’s turn.

The man born William Broad in England, made famous as part of Generation X and then a solo career that’s notched hits such as “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” “Eyes Without a Face” and “Dancing With Myself,” is one of eight first-timers out of 14 nominees on this year’s Rock Hall ballot, which was announced Wednesday morning (Feb. 12). Public voting is underway at vote.rockhall.com, and the inductees are expected to be announced during late April, with the ceremony held this fall in Los Angeles.

“It’s pretty incredible,” Idol told Billboard via phone from Los Angeles. “I’m really knocked out. It’s really fantastic, and what a great honor just to be included with those other fellow artists on that list. It caught me by surprise today, and I was completely bowled over.”

Idol has been eligible since 2006 as a solo artist, but he said he’s never thought of himself as slighted or overlooked. “Well, there’s so many great people who have yet to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — someone like [fellow nominee] Joe Cocker, for instance,” he noted. “So of course you don’t tend to think about yourself.

“I think in some ways it’s a big thank-you to the fans, who really have stuck with you through thick and thin — sometimes more thin than thick. But they’ve really stuck with you. In some ways, if you’re in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they are [too].”

Idol began his career as a guitar player in the punk band Chelsea before forming Generation X with guitarist Tony James in 1976. The group released four albums and had British hits with “Your Generation,” “King Rocker” and “Valley of the Dolls” before breaking up in early 1981. Idol then moved to New York, working with former Kiss manager Bill Aucoin. His first EP, Don’t Stop, featured a remake of Generation X’s “Dancing With Myself” and a cover of Tommy James and the Shondells’ “Mony Mony,” but his self-titled 1982 debut was the real breakthrough, going gold on the strength of “White Wedding” and “Hot in the City,” and a warm embrace from MTV.

That helped make Rebel Yell even bigger in 1983, a double-platinum, top 10 Billboard 200 smash that turned Idol into an arena-sized headliner.

“It’s just kind of incredible ’cause you never could have imagined this when you began,” said Idol, who’s released eight studio albums total and has another coming this year, with details expected to be announced soon. “When we started out in punk rock, we really were doing it for the love. We thought this might last six minutes, six months, maybe a year, maybe two years. We’re nearly talking about 50 years now.

“Look, if you do something for the right reasons, it can take you the whole way. Just to have lived this life, to have this musical life, at one point it was a dream. To get to live your dream, that’s pretty incredible.”

Idol has been in the Rock Hall already via one of his Harley-Davidson motorcycles, which is on display in the museum in Cleveland. He visited during October’s induction festivities and reports that “it’s beautiful seeing it there. They’ve done a good job of taking care of it.”

The Osbourne induction, Idol adds, was “really good fun. Playing with [producer] Andrew Watt and Wolfgang Van Halen and everybody, it was an incredible night. The vibe amongst everybody was fantastic, and to feel the sort of energy and excitement of the fans being there. Just getting to thank the fans is an incredible moment.”

While the Rock Hall voting is going on, Idol will be rolling out the new album and prepping for the It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again! trek that kicks off April 30 in Phoenix and runs through late September. Idol will be joined by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, reconnecting with someone he met during a Generation X press tour back in 1978.

“We ended up in L.A., watching the Germs and Black Flag at the Whisky a Go Go with Joan and about 20 other girls [in] go-go boots and short mini-skirts,” Idol recalls. “It was great meeting her. It should be a really fantastic [tour], a good time.”

Rick Springfield has had a long enough career to accumulate a few stories. Ahead of the Feb. 14 release of Big Hits: Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits, Volume 2, a collection of tracks from his 1999 album Karma to Automatic from 2023, Springfield told Billboard’s Behind the Setlist podcast about partnering with Sammy Hagar on Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum drinks (and writing the song “Party at the Beach Bar,” which appears on the new greatest hits album), his early musical influences (such as The Easybeats and guitarist Hank Marvin) and writing “The Man That Never Was,” a song from the Dave Grohl-led Sound City: Reel to Reel soundtrack, released in 2013, that also appears on the new collection.

The hard-rocking “The Man That Never Was” started as a track recorded by Springfield and the members of Foo Fighters, he recalls. “Dave wanted everyone to kind of get together that was in the documentary and all write songs. So I got together with the Foo Fighters in the studio, and we put together this track that was a really good track. It was a riff that Dave originally came up with, and we kind of fleshed it out.” Grohl then handed Springfield a CD with the track they just recorded and said, “OK, now go write a song.”

Springfield then continued working on the then-unnamed track with veteran bass player Matt Bissonette, most recently a member of Elton John’s band. Bissonette had the idea to write lyrics based on an actual story from World War II about an elaborate plan by British intelligence officers to trick the Germans about the Allied armies’ invasion of Sicily. (The operation was captured in 2010 book Operation Mincemeat, and made into a movie of the same name in 2021.) “We’re both great history buffs,” Springfield says.

Working with Grohl and company was tame compared to Springfield’s experience performing for U.S. troops during the Vietnam War in the late ‘60s. More than a decade before Springfield topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “Jessie’s Girl” — one of 21 appearances on the tally — he was performing with his first professional band when an American promoter hired the group to perform in Vietnam. He had no idea what was in store.

“It was a war zone,” he recalls. “I’d never been to one. And we played for the troops in the on the back of trucks just before they went up. You know, we’d get [flown on helicopters] into fire bases, which is where the grunts would operate from, and go out into the jungle and just start fighting. We’d play in those places, and we get rocketed and mortared, and they’d have to shut the show.”

At one point, the base came under fire when the band’s bass player was lying unconscious in a dentist’s chair, ready to get some teeth pulled. “They started saying, ‘That’s incoming, gentlemen, better get to the bunkers.’ So we didn’t know what to do,” Springfield says. “He was all hooked up, so we left him and went into the bunkers. And when we came back, he was still there. So it was all good, but he didn’t know he’d he’d been left to the the wiles of the Viet Cong.”

During a visit to a Navy encampment at Marble Mountain outside De Nang, U.S. forces came under attack. “You see tracers going off through the sky,” says Springfield. “I was throwing mortars. You couldn’t do this stuff now. First of all, it’s insane to do it. And secondly, you wouldn’t be allowed. But back then, it was the Wild West.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has unveiled its 2025 nominees, and while every person and band on the list is more than deserving to be welcomed into the institution’s esteemed ranks, only a few can be.
As announced Wednesday (Feb. 12), the names on this year’s ballot include Mariah Carey, Oasis, Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Maná, Oasis, Outkast, Phish, Soundgarden and The White Stripes. Eight of those acts — Bad Company, the Black Crowes, Checker, Cocker, Idol, Maná, Outkast and Phish — are first-time nominees, while the other six have been in RRHOF consideration in years past.

Those names will now be narrowed down by an international panel of more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry players, with a fan-voted element factored in. That group’s selected nominees will be revealed in April, as well as whether they’ll be entering in the musical influence or musical excellence categories. An induction ceremony in Los Angeles will follow in the fall, coming one year after the 2024 class comprised of Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest was inaugurated into the hallowed Rock Hall.

In an increasingly expensive touring market, $50 has come to seem like a reasonable amount to pay for a night of live music. And when that ticket gets you into a 575-capacity venue in New York City to see Sir Paul McCartney? Well, it just might be the deal of a lifetime.

Midday Tuesday (Feb. 11), it was revealed that the Beatle would perform a last-minute underplay at Manhattan’s peerless Bowery Ballroom that very evening – with tickets only available at the box office. Even with the in-person purchase requirement and a one-ticket-per-person limit, the show sold out in approximately 30 minutes.

Certainly more accustomed to playing to tens of thousands in stadiums than several hundred people in a dark Manhattan club, McCartney has been at this long enough (The Beatles first played America 61 years ago) that it’s hard to imagine any crowd fazing him. At this point, the same goes for his core backing band (Wix Wickens, keyboards/musical director; Abe Laboriel Jr., drums; Rusty Anderson, guitar; Brian Ray, guitar and bass), who have been providing unflappable support since the early ‘00s. Additionally, the Hot City Horns (who first joined McCartney during his Grand Central Station pop-up in 2018) rotated in and out to provide punchy backing on “Jet,” “Got to Get You Into My Life,” “Lady Madonna” and other classics. McCartney warned the audience that his band hadn’t had much time to rehearse, but you wouldn’t have known – only during a quickie jam session on Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” did the show sound anything short of meticulously timed, but there’s nothing wrong with flirting with a bit of chaos during that song anyway.

Seeing Paul McCartney live remains a bit of a religious experience – tears were shed during “Let It Be,” couples were swaying during “Let Me Roll It” and inter-generational families were singing along during ripping opener “A Hard Day’s Night.” If you’ve been to a McCartney show before, you’re familiar with some of the stories he tells before each song, which he cheekily acknowledged during his mid-song banter: “Have you heard this story? Well, I’m gonna tell it anyway.”

A few of those anecdotes have a sense of newfound relevance. Prior to performing “Mrs. Vanderbilt” (which isn’t always in his setlists), McCartney talked about singing the Wings tune in Independence Square in Kyiv, Ukraine, back in 2008. With a note of sadness, McCartney recalled the concert had a sense of uplifting freedom. “Let’s hope we get back to that,” he said, tipping to Russia’s ongoing war of aggression in the Ukraine.

Prior to his Civil Rights-inspired ode “Blackbird,” McCartney talked about how the Beatles encountered legal segregation in the American south during their first tour of America. “We thought it was just stupid,” he said plainly before sharing the story of how the Beatles forced a Jacksonville, Flor., venue to integrate for their show. It’s a story that he’s told before, but at this moment in American history, we could use a reminder that it makes a difference when artists stand up to governments and courts that stoke racial divisions.

Speaking of the Beatles, McCartney gave “Now and Then” – the Grammy-winning final Fab Four song which came out in 2023 – its American debut Tuesday night, paying tribute to John Lennon after wrapping up the ballad on an upright piano. For a song that started as a Lennon demo in 1977, it’s fitting its first U.S. performance should take place in his beloved adopted home base of New York City.

Macca is in NYC to help Saturday Night Live (a slightly younger pop culture mainstay) celebrate 50 years on Sunday (Feb. 16). Whether his Bowery Ballroom show was a warm-up for a potential SNL performance or simply a chance for him to rock out at a venue where he can enforce a no-phones policy (all cells were bagged at the door) remains to be seen, but on Tuesday evening, it was certainly the best 50-buck investment anyone could make in Manhattan.

The 2025 Love Rocks NYC benefit concert will feature sets from Alicia Keys, Beck, Cher, Kate Hudson, Mavis Staples, Michael McDonald, Peter Frampton, Phish’s Trey Anastasio and many more. The ninth annual benefit for God’s Love We Deliver — an organization that cooks and delivers medically tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves — will take place at New York’s Beacon Theatre on March 6.

The show, executive produced by fashion designer John Varvatos, along with New York real estate broker Douglas Elliman and concert producers Greg Williamson and Nicole Rechter, will also include performances from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart featuring Vanessa Amorosi, the Black Pumas’ Eric Burton, Grace Bowers, Jesse Malin, Struts singer Luke Spiller, The War and Treaty and more acts to be announced.

It will also have appearances by comedians Alex Edelman, Amy Schumer, Susie Essman and Tracy Morgan.

God’s Love We Deliver was founded in 1985 as a response to the AIDS pandemic and now serves people living with more than 200 different diagnoses. The organization has served more than 40 million meals to date, with this year marking the group’s 40th anniversary.

“As we prepare for the 9th Annual LOVE ROCKS NYC concert, we’re reminded of the power of music and community to create change,” said God’s Love We Deliver CEO Terrence Meck in a statement. “This year is especially meaningful as God’s Love We Deliver celebrates having delivered more than 40 million meals since our founding in 1985. We are so proud of our work nourishing our neighbors affected by severe and chronic illness, and we are grateful to Love Rocks NYC for the visibility and funds it raises for God’s Love We Deliver.”

Since the annual show launched in 2017, it has raised $50 million and helped fund more than five million meals. This year’s show will support God’s Love as well as their Food Is Medicine Coalition peer organization Project Angel Food in Los Angeles as part of a response to January’s devastating wildfires.

Past performers at God’s Love shows have included: Keith Richards & The X-Pensive Winos, Jon Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews, Robert Plant, Norah Jones, The Black Crowes, Dave Grohl, Ziggy Marley, Cyndi Lauper, Hozier, St. Vincent, Marcus King, Nathaniel Rateliff and many more.  

Pre-sale tickets for this year’s show will go on sale on Thursday (Feb. 13) at 10 a.m. ET, with a public onsale going live on Friday (Feb. 14) at 10 a.m. ET here and here.

Black Crowes‘ frontman Chris Robinson acknowledges, with a laugh, that “I’ve been cynical in the past about institutions” in general — and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame specifically. 
But he’s unreservedly pleased about the band’s first Rock Hall nomination. 

“We’re just very excited,” Robinson, who formed the group with younger brother Rich Robinson, drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Johnny Colt and guitarist Jeff Cease in 1989 in the Robinson’s native Atlanta, tells Billboard. “I don’t think we ever really would have thought about it, so for it to be in front of us, it’s incredible. We’re thrilled.

“All sarcasm aside, it’s amazing to be thought of. It’s amazing to be included. We love music, and we understand the real magical, alchemic process in it, and that we’ve managed to still be here this many years later and still be making records and in a lot of ways having a level of recognition and success that we haven’t felt before. 

Trending on Billboard

“Just to be mentioned (alongside) some of the names of the greatest artists, it’s fantastic,” he says of the band’s first nomination.

Robinson is well aware of his May 2017 remarks to SiriusXM’s Howard Stern, when he said he would not attend a Black Crowes’ induction and that “the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to me is like going to the mall or something.”

“As if an interview with Howard Stern’s a deposition,” Robinson says with another laugh. “I think like anything with age… To say what I’m saying today is sincere. This isn’t one of those situations where I’ll grudgingly, ‘Oh, if we get in, I’ll go…’ If it happens for us, then I’ll be there with bells on my feet.”

The Black Crowes flew out of the box strong, of course, starting with two multi-platinum albums — 1990’s Shake Your Money Maker and 1992’s The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion  — and a rash of 16 Mainstream Rock chart hits that includes “Jealous Again,” a rendition Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle,” “She Talks to Angels,” “Remedy” and “Thorn in My Pride.” The group has released nine studio albums, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide. Its latest, 2024’s Happiness Bastards, was nominated for a Grammy Award for best rock album, losing out to the Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds. “If you’re gonna lose a Grammy, lose it to Mick (Jagger) and Keith (Richards). We were just happy to be included,” Robinson says.

The Crowes have gone through three distinct eras during the band’s career — 1984-2002 and 2005-2015, with the Robinsons regrouping in 2019. More than two dozen musicians have played in the group during that time; in addition to the original lineup, guitarist Marc Ford and the late keyboardist Eddie Harsch are part of the nomination. There has been rancor over the years; Gorman published a revealing memoir, Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes, in 2019 and subsequently sued the Robinsons for unpaid royalties, in a case that was settled during 2022. Chris Robinson says any amends prior to a Rock Hall induction is a matter for “down the road,” while the current state of the band remains strong.

“I think where our career has led us since Rich and I got back together… I think it just adds to how deeply we’re interested in our career and our band,” he explains.

The Black Crowes are planning a “light” year of performing, Robinson says, and the brothers have already started to write new songs. “We probably have another 20 new songs already, sketches,” he says. “I think Happiness Bastards was kind of the ignition, a very positive step. It was like, ‘Wow, that was fun’ and ‘Wow, now we have some new ideas. I think getting in the studio this spring is something that we feel we want to do. It’s very exciting.”

Robinson, a Los Angeles resident for more than two decades, is also still glowing about the FireAid benefit concert on Jan. 30 at the Kia Forum, where the Black Crowes performed “Remedy” and backed John and Shane Fogerty on Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” before the Robinsons teamed with Slash for a rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Going to California.” 

“It was a super, super special event,” Robinson recalls. “Los Angeles gets this rap for being so shallow and vapid and stuff… but it just goes to show the real heart and soul of a place like Los Angeles. That’s what happens when you’re in a show business industry town. That’s where this town is pointed towards. So it was just spectacular.

“And to do it with Slash, who’s a friend but he’s synonymous with the Los Angeles music scene… I thought it was a really nice moment. And Jimmy (Page) saw it and he thought it was great. So, win-in.”

The Class of 2025 will be revealed in late April. That announcement typically details which artists are inducted as performers, which names are entering the Rock Hall in the musical influence or musical excellence categories and who the year’s Ahmet Ertegun award recipient will be. The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall.

After decades of eligibility, Bad Company’s future in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seemed to be, as the song says, a “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy.”
Now the English supergroup finds itself nominated for the Rock Hall’s class of 2025, one of eight first-timers on the shortlist of 14.

“Bad Company fans and friends have been lobbying for this nomination persistently for years and they never gave up, so big thanks to them,” frontman Paul Rodgers tells Billboard. “According to them, Bad Company fits all of the criteria and then some to be inducted.” Drummer Simon Kirke, however, is more inclined to also note that it’s about time.

“I think it’s been a long time coming,” he says from his current home in New York City. “It has rankled me a bit. We’ve been around a long time and we’ve influenced a lot of bands, and I think it’s a place that we deserve. I’m just pleased that we’re at least on the ballot. I’m happy and I’m honored, and fingers crossed that we make it.”

Formed during 1973 in London, Bad Company brought together Rodgers and Kirke from Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople and bassist Boz Burrell, fresh out of King Crimson. The group was managed by the legendary Peter Grant and signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label. Its self-titled 1974 debut hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, going five-times platinum and launching enduring rock radio hits such as “Can’t Get Enough” (No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100), “Movin’ On” (No. 19) and the song “Bad Company.”

Four of the band’s other 11 studio albums went platinum or better, as did the 1985 compilation 10 From 6. All told Bad Company sold more than 40 million records worldwide, with a cadre of other top 40 Hot 100 hits such as “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Young Blood,” “Shooting Star” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy.”

“Leaving behind those three bands that had become a bit of a millstone around our necks, there was certainly an element of hope and a fresh start,” Kirke recalls. “We just basically wanted a fresh start from our old bands, so it was like a phoenix rising from the ashes. I remember when Paul started singing these songs that Mick had written, ‘Can’t Get Enough’ and ‘Ready For Love’…it was really exciting. We just hoped that it was something that would be around for awhile, and here we are 50 years later.”

Rodgers, who splits time between British Columbia and Palm Springs, Calif., says he and Ralphs actually had different visions at the outset of Bad Company. “(Ralphs) recently told me that he thought that we would form a duo like the Everly Brothers. This was a surprise to me,” he says. “For myself after Free imploded…I was determined that my next band would have the best management and we did. Peter Grant was the most powerful, creative manager at the time and he was a large, large part of Bad Company’s success. It is particularly obvious to me now as we celebrate our 50th anniversary, and I look around and hear so many talented musicians who are not getting the break they need to reach the masses. I hope they find their Peter Grant.”

The original Bad Company foursome came to a stop in 1982. Ralphs and Kirke resumed from 1986-99 with a succession of other musicians — and had some success with the platinum Holy Water album in 1990 and singles such as the title track, “How About That,” “If You Needed Somebody” and “No Smoke Without Fire.” The original foursome reunited during 1989-99, playing live and releasing four new songs on The ‘Original’ Bad Co. Anthology. Burrell passed away in 1999 from a heart attack at 60, and Rodgers and Kirke reformed Bad Company two years later, with Ralphs coming back on board from 2008-2016, when a stroke rendered him unable to continue touring. (Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes, also nominated for the Rock Hall this year, was an additional guitarist during 2016).

Bad Company last toured during 2019, and Kirke confirms that “I think it’s safe to say (the band’s) playing days are pretty much over.”

He and Rodgers are still active, however. Though Rodgers is also battling health issues — he’s suffered several strokes since 2016 and 2019 — he released the solo album Midnight Rose during 2023 and is continuing to write new material. Kirke, meanwhile, has written a stage musical about addiction that’s currently being shopped and is planning to record his fourth solo album during the spring.

Both men, and likely Ralphs, will be watching the Rock Hall voting period play out, too — if not with bated breath, then certainly with interest. “My hope,” Rodgers says, “is if we are going to be inducted, let it be while Mick is still here. I do hope that the induction happens while Mick can experience, it too.”

The 2025 nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were revealed early Wednesday (Feb. 12) morning. Of the 14 nominees who appear on this year’s ballot, only some of them (likely about half) will be inducted into the institution later this year as the Rock Hall’s Class of 2025.
