Peter Gabriel skipping Genesis' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
Cites scheduling conflict with tour
Peter Gabriel, Feb. 11, 2010
NEW YORK – When Genesis gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month, founding member Peter Gabriel won't be there.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame president Joel Peresman said in a statement Thursday that Gabriel says he has a scheduling conflict with his tour that begins in Europe.
Along with Gabriel, the band's original lineup included Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett. Phil Collins joined the band later and replaced Gabriel as lead vocalist in 1976.
Genesis was inspirational in the progressive rock movement. Gabriel's vision helped define the genre's theatrical approach to a rock show with costume changes, innovative stage design, and intricate lighting effects.
The induction ceremony takes place March 15 in New York.
As previously reported, you can listen to Gabriel's forthcoming covers album "Scratch My Back" here.

February 15, 2010 at 3:14PM EST Reply to CommentGabriel - get over thyself. You owe your fans who've supported you and made possible all your later efforts possible a direct and personal statement of gratitude on the stage of this prestigious honor. This is a weak attempt to get Gabriel's name overshadowing the other members of Genesis who are more responsible for the longevity and increased success since his departure. Ego run amok by another self-important, has-been rock star to be displayed on the one night that should be kept in check.
