Fela Kuti, Sade Adu Get Rock & Roll of Fame Selection

Nigerian Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and Sade, fronted by Nigerian-British singer Sade Adu, are to be inducted into the 2026 class of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, according to BBC Africa.

Fela Kuti’s latest recognition comes months after he became the first African musician to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, nearly 30 years after his death.

Nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are selected by a group of around 40 industry professionals, including previous inductees, academics and journalists with expertise in music.

The induction ceremony will take place on 14 November at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
