R&R HOF Inductees Dave Grohl & Krist Novoselic, Yusuf Islam, Kiss To Do Fallon This Week
On Thursday night, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame will induct its 2014 class at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, which means just about everyone who’s still alive and going into the Hall is in New York this week. Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show is taking advantage of that fact and booking an incoming Hall Of Famer almost every night this week, as Billboard reports. Tonight’s musical guests are Nas and Q-Tip — non-Hall Of Famers both, though they’ll both hopefully find their way in one day. But on tonight’s show, John Oates, whose Hall And Oates are going in, will sit in with the Roots during the show. Tomorrow night, incoming Hall Of Famer Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, will serve as musical guest. On Wednesday night, surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic will appear on the show, and the musical guest will be Stevie Nicks, who’s taking part in the induction ceremony to help honor Linda Ronstadt. And on Friday night’s show, Kiss will perform. (Also of note: Fallon’s bandleader ?uestlove is taking part in the induction ceremony; he’ll give the induction speech for Hall And Oates.)
