Keith Urban and Jelly Roll Headline Star Guests for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

On October 19, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will take over Cleveland, Ohio to welcome a new batch of singers into their legendary halls. While honoring some of the most iconic singers and bands throughout music, the organization recently released a long list of singers and actors who will attend the ceremony. And given his sudden rise in country music, no award show would be complete without the lovable Jelly Roll. Always known for having a good time, it seems that Jelly Roll will get the chance to rub shoulders with other stars like Keith Urban and even Julia Roberts. 

While thrilled about the upcoming ceremony, John Sykes, the chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, explained how important the event has become over the years. He said, “Every year the biggest names in music, film and culture step onto the stage at our ceremony to pay tribute to the iconic inductees whose music has defined generations. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments created that will be remembered forever.”
