Organizers aren’t saying who will induct who, but fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s presence at ceremony points home.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has unveiled its list of performers and presenters for its 2025 ceremony, and the White Stripes could be inducted into the Hall by a fellow Michigan rock and roll legend.
Iggy Pop is on the list that was released by Rock Hall officials on Wednesday, and while the Rock Hall isn’t specifying who will be paired up with whom, one can assume the Stooges frontman will be there to either induct or perform for the Detroit duo.
Other presenters and performers included on Wednesday’s list include Olivia Rodrigo — who also has ties with Jack White, whom she once called her “hero of all heroes” — Beck, Doja Cat, Brandi Carlile, Elton John, Missy Elliott, Maxwell, Teddy Swims, Flea, Twenty One Pilots and David Letterman.
Joining the White Stripes on the inductee list at the Nov. 8 ceremony are Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Salt-N-Pepa, Soundgarden and Warren Zevon.
Iggy Pop is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in his own right; he was inducted into the Rock Hall in 2010 as a member of the Stooges. In 2008, he and the Stooges performed during the induction of Madonna, their fellow Michiganian, serenading her with renditions of “Burning Up” and “Ray of Light.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, which will take place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, will stream live on Disney+.
