On Monday, Iron Maiden was finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, they will not be attending the Induction ceremony in November.
Rod Smallwood, the band’s manager, gave the following statement on behalf of Iron Maiden after the announcement:
“We’d like to thank the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for including us (and former members who were all part of our story) in the 2026 roll call of inductees. Iron Maiden have always been about our relationship with our fans above anything else, including awards and industry accolades. However, having said that, it’s always nice to be recognised and honoured for any achievements within the music industry too!
“It also seems appropriate for the band to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year as we continue our 50th anniversary celebrations with our Run For Your Lives World Tour visiting the Americas and beyond. We would also like to congratulate our fellow 2026 inductees and extend our gratitude as ever to our fans for their loyalty, perseverance and support for over 50 years now! See you all, somewhere on tour.”
The tour is the reason why they will not be able to accept the honor. The band will be playing dates in Australia the day before and the day after the event.
“As the most observant have already noticed, the band will be on tour in Australia around the November date of the Induction ceremony for the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Los Angeles,” Smallwood said in an email to Billboard. “In accepting, Iron Maiden made it very clear to the R&R HoF that the fans always come first and that the shows will of course go on.”
And that is why they were accepted into the Hall of Fame: 51 years of putting the fans first. As it should be.

Yesterday was the season 2 finale of The Pitt, and the best scene came after the credits.
What happened? After a 15-hour shift, Mel (Taylor Dearden) and Santos (Taylor Dearden) went out drinking and practiced scream therapy while singing Alanis Morissette’s You Outta Know at Karaoke.
It was so nice to see the two doctors let loose after the shift they had, especially poor Mel. She had a really shitty day.
