Uncertainty Surrounds Specific Roles of Participants
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame traditionally withholds details about the precise roles each celebrity will play during the ceremony, leaving fans to speculate on whether individuals will sing, present, or honor specific inductees. A recent announcement featured Chappell Roan expressing her enthusiasm about inducting Cyndi Lauper, revealing personal connections to Lauper’s work during her time on “America’s Got Talent.”
“has inspired me with her fashion and her hair, and of course, her makeup, her music,”
Roan said in the video.
“I actually auditioned with ‘True Colors’ for ‘America’s Got Talent’ when I was 13. I didn’t make it, but the song is still incredible. I’m so excited. Thanks for having me.”
