\n Groups Sade and Oasis, which include singers Sade and Liam Gallagher respectively, are among the Brits to be inducted into the prestigious group of musicians this year.\n<\/p>\n
\n The 2026 honourees were announced by Ryan Seacrest during an episode of American Idol on Tuesday, April 14.\n<\/p>\n
\n Artists are eligible for inclusion in the hall 25 years after releasing their first commercial recording.\n<\/p>\n
\n Nigerian-British singer-songwriter Sade, whose full name is Helen Folasade Adu, is the main songwriter and lead vocalist of namesake group Sade, who blend jazz, soul, and R&B.\n<\/p>\n
\n The band\u2019s hits include the 1984 tracks Your Love Is King, which reached number six on the UK singles chart, and Smooth Operator, which reached number 19.\n<\/p>\n
\n Their lead singer, who does not make regular media appearances, has family ties to the Stroud area and moved locally in 2005.\n<\/p>\n
\n In an interview with The Sunday Times in 2010, she joked of the local newspapers: \u201cThey\u2019re more interested in Eddie the Eagle – he\u2019s a bigger star in those parts than I am.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n As of April 2026, Sade\u2019s website says she lives in \u2018rural Gloucestershire\u2019 with her partner.\n<\/p>\n
\n Britpop band Oasis, who hail from Manchester, are known for hits like Don\u2019t Look Back in Anger and Wonderwall.\n<\/p>\n
\n The group includes brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, who put their differences aside after almost 15 years and reformed the band for their Oasis Live ’25 tour.\n<\/p>\n
\n The latter has recently bought a property in Coates near Cirencester and previously rented in Selsley.\n<\/p>\n
\n The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in November before debuting on Disney+ in December.\n<\/p>\n
\n More than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals vote to decide the nominees each year.\n<\/p>\n
\n Other Brits due to be inducted in 2026 are singer and drummer Phil Collins and heavy metal band Iron Maiden.\n<\/p>\n
\n A total of six British entries will be honoured this year, including rocker Billy Idol plus Joy Division and New Order.\n<\/p>\n
\n Also among the honourees in 2026 are Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, Luther Vandross and Celia Cruz.\n<\/p>\n
\n Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chairman John Sykes said: \u201cInduction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is music\u2019s highest honour.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe look forward to celebrating these remarkable artists at this year\u2019s ceremony – it\u2019s going to be an unforgettable night.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n British representation in the group was more limited in 2025, with Bad Company and Joe Cocker among the few UK acts honoured.\n<\/p>\n
\n Oasis, Joy Division and Billy Idol were among last year\u2019s nominees who failed to make the cut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Groups Sade and Oasis, which include singers Sade and Liam Gallagher respectively, are among the Brits to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-388533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
