Iron Maiden will not be attending their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. The band are sitting out the event due to touring commitments. The ceremony will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, CA on November 14.

The group’s manager Rod Smallwood issued the following statement to Billboard:

“As the most observant have already noticed, the band will be on tour in Australia around the November date of the induction ceremony for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Los Angeles. In accepting, Iron Maiden made it very clear to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame that the fans always come first and that the shows will, of course, go on.

We would like to assure all our fans in Australasia that the Australian and New Zealand dates will remain unaffected and we look forward to bringing the ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour to them on the penultimate stop of our 50th-anniversary celebrations.”
