CEO Joel Peresman toldĀ Vulture:”We thought that was kind of boring to try to go through the hoops of having artists performing with no audience, or doing it with just family or friends.”
Instead, the two-hour special will include 10-minute clip packages for each inductee, with extra interviews and historical footage.
This year’s class includes Nine Inch Nails, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G., and T.Rex. The special airs Saturday, Nove. 7th on HB0.
