Former RHCP guitarist says he was shunned at Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 May 2012
Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Jack Sherman has criticised the band for apparently not allowing him or fellow ex-guitarist Dave Navarro to attend the group’s recent induction into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Sherman appeared on the band’s eponymous debut album, while Navarro appeared on 1995’s ‘One Hot Minute’.
Speaking to Billboard, Sherman said that the decision to exclude him and Navarro “was probably the band’s and not the Hall’s”, adding that the exclusion was for “whatever reasons they have” and “it’s really painful to see all this celebrating going on, and be excluded … I’m being dishonoured; and it sucks”.
However, the band’s lawyer Eric Greenspan has denied the exclusions were down to the band themselves, saying: “It’s not a decision made by the band. It’s made by the Hall Of Fame. They determine which of the members, through [a band’s] career, get inducted”.
