NEW YORK — English rockers turned pop stars Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday, joined by two other acts that thrived in second livesAbba and the Hollies.
Genesis was missing Peter Gabriel, the theatrical lead singer whose departure was the dividing line between the band’s two styles. Former bandmate Mike Rutherford said that Gabriel, who is starting a tour, wanted to send his apologies.
Other inductees were reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff, and the raucous Iggy Pop and the Stooges. Music executive David Geffen and songwriters whose work sold hundreds of millions of copies were to join as nonperformers. The Associated Press
