Yeah, Peter Frampton Also Side-Eyed Past Rock Hall Nominations
Though the 2024 nominee never expected the honor himself, he’s cheering for the institution’s new era: “Things will be more realistic.”
Despite a point in time where everybody in the suburbs was issued one of his albums with a sample of Tide, Peter Frampton didn’t receive his first nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame until this year — alongside contemporaries including Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Foreigner, and Kool & the Gang on the 2024 ballot. Frampton and his curriculum vitae have been eligible for the institution since 1998, and he tells me that, yes, of course he thought about the potential of “his name being put in the hat,” even if he’s harbored certain criticisms of the Rock Hall over the years. The Rock Hall will announce its official 2024 class in late April, and until then, Frampton — who now performs with the help of a chair due to a degenerative muscle disease — is embarking on his Never Ever Say Never tour across the country.
