When Foreigner<\/strong> gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Saturday, only three members of the band\u00a0\u2014 singer\u00a0Lou Gramm<\/strong>, keyboardist\u00a0Al Greenwood\u00a0<\/strong>and bassist\u00a0Rick Wills\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014\u00a0<\/strong>will be on hand to accept the honor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dennis Elliott<\/strong> and Mick Jones<\/strong>\u00a0won’t\u00a0be in attendance, and\u00a0the trio\u00a0tells ABC Audio\u00a0their bandmates not being there is a bit of a letdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, we knew Mick was very doubtful for being here because of his illness,\u201d Wills says. Jones revealed he had Parkinson’s disease back in February.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

And while Greenwood said\u00a0Elliott not coming is \u201cpretty much of a disappointment,\u201d Wills adds, \u201cBut Dennis is Dennis. I have to say sometimes that he makes his own decisions that we don’t always agree with,\u201d with Gramm chiming in \u201cor understand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dennis revealed <\/span>on Facebook<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0he decided not to go because he was unhappy with the schedule, with <\/span>Billboard<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0suggesting one issue was that spouses were not allowed to walk the red carpet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very disappointing\u00a0cause he said he was going to be here,” Wills says. \u201cHe should be here.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

But even though they\u2019ll be missing two people, it sounds like fans can expect a great performance. Sammy Hagar<\/strong> is\u00a0set to induct them and perform \u201cHot Blooded,\u201d and\u00a0Gramm is going to perform \u201cI Want To Know What Love Is\u201d with Kelly Clarkson<\/strong>, although if he had the choice he\u2019d be singing a different tune.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and I\u2019m disappointed that I\u2019m not singing a rock song,\u201d he said. \u201cBut apparently the choice of songs was not up to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, taking place at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, will stream live on Disney+ at 7 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
