The organization has also decided to postpone its upcoming 2020 induction ceremony. The event which was set to take place May 2 will reportedly be pushed back to a later date.

“The health and safety of our fans and visitors is our highest priority. Given recent news regarding coronavirus and the urging by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine regarding large public gatherings, we have made the decision to postpone the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Induction Week festivities until later this year,” a spokesperson for the organization said.

Fans, your health and safety is our highest priority. Given recent coronavirus news, we are postponing the Induction Ceremony and all Induction Week events until later this year.
