LIVESTREAM TONIGHT

Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant and his family have organized Rockin' 4 a Cure, a fundraiser for the Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation, tonight (Wednesday) at Porsche Jacksonville in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.

On September 24th, 2024, his 23-year old daughter Taylor had her right side go completely numb and was rushed to the hospital, where tests revealed a rare disease known as a Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM), also called a Cavernoma, in the left thalamus of her brain.

Taylor started a fundraising campaign to help fund research to find a cure, setting a goal of $500,000 for Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation. And proud papa Johnny says, "My whole point in putting this event together is to bring awareness to Cavernomas and to help fund a cure... There is no funding to help people with severe cases and this disease has a wide range of severity. I have watched so many testimonials of people of all ages, who are just hoping for relief and to live out semi-normal lives! The goal is to make a difference for those who are struggling and have lost all sense of hope."

In addition to the music and food at the event, there is also a silent online auction with memorabilia donated by Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Styx, Paul Rodgers, Bret Michaels, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, the Mickey Mantle Estate, Doug Flutie, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hendrick Motorsports, and many more.
You can look at and bid on items at My.OneCause.com, which is also where you can buy tickets for the livestream. Auction ends at 9pm ET tonight (Wednesday 11/5/25).

Mick Fleetwood will induct Bad Company, and Bryan Adams will fill in for Paul Rodgers who has been advised by his doctors not to fly due to having 13 strokes since 2016. Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry will also take part in the Bad Company performance, which will include drummer Simon Kirke, the only member of the band who will attend as guitarist Mick Ralphs died this past June, and bassist Boz Burrell preceded him in 2006.
Salt-N-Pepa will perform.
Questlove will reportedly induct OutKast, but they won't perform because Andre 3000 is too nervous to do so. Doja Cat, Tyler the Creator and others will perform in tribute.
Cyndi Lauper will be inducted by Chappell Roan, and Cyndi will also perform.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea will induct Carol Kaye, bassist in The Wrecking Crew, who will not attend because the Rock Hall called her a member of the Wrecking Crew and Kaye has made clear that she hates the term invented by drummer Hal Blaine for the group of Los Angeles studio musicians in the 1960s.
This Thursday's Grammy Museum/Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Q&A with Bad Company has been canceled due to Paul Rodgers being unable to attend.

The Induction Ceremony will stream live coast to coast on Disney+ starting at 5 pm ET, and will also be available to stream afterwards. ABC will also air a condensed version on January 1st at 8 pm ET.

PAUL RODGERS: Won’t Attend Rock Hall Induction
Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers will no longer be attending Saturday's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles. Having had 13 strokes since 2016, he's been ordered by his doctors not to fly.

In a statement he says, "My hope was to be at the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and to perform for the fans, but at this time I have to prioritize my health. I have no problem singing, it’s the stress of everything else. Thanks for understanding.

"[Bad Company drummer] Simon [Kirke] along with some outstanding musicians will be stepping in for me - guaranteed to rock.”

Kirke will be the only member representing the band as guitarist Mick Ralphs died this past June, and bassist Boz Burrell preceded him in 2006.

Bad Company -- Rodgers and Kirke -- last performed together in 2019.

Bad Company are being inducted by Mick Fleetwood and among the musicians performing in their honor are Bryan Adams and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and possibly Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless who perform "All Right Now" from Free on the new Bad Company tribute album, Can't Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company. Free was the band Rodgers and Kirke were in prior to forming Bad Company.

Joining Bad Company in the Class of 2025 are Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden and The White Stripes in the Performer category, along with Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon for Musical Influence, Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye for Musical Excellence, and Lenny Waronker with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
