The annual Hall Of Fame induction ceremony is a source of rancour as often as it is a celebration, and this year's event are set to be no different. Just days before the show at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland, Ohio, founding Foreigner drummer Dennis Elliott – who played on every album the band released between 1977's self-titled debut to 1991's Unusual Heat – has announced that he won't be going.
Writing on Facebook, Elliott pulls no punches, saying, "Don't look too hard, we will not be there. We were finally given the schedule last night, and it is not to our satisfaction. So we are staying home. We have been asking for this for weeks, and they have waited until the very last minute to send it knowing we were all packed and going to bed. Totally unacceptable to us. Hope you have a good time."
