Oasis and Iron Maiden have previously criticized the Hall of Fame, with Liam Gallagher and Bruce Dickinson expressing skepticism towards the institution.
The induction ceremony will be a challenging event for some artists, such as Sade and Joy Division/New Order, due to potential conflicts and estrangements within the bands.
