It was an absolute charge watching him perform our song,&rdquo; Rodgers said.<\/p>\n<p>In his acceptance speech, delivered via video, Rodgers thanked his wife Cynthia, calling her &ldquo;my secret force and the reason my heart still beats.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers, who was born in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, moved to Canada in 1997 when he met her. He relinquished his British citizenship in 2011 and is now a Canadian citizen.<\/p>\n<p>He was the lead singer and one of the founders of Bad Company in 1973, along with guitarist Mick Ralphs. The band also included bassist Boz Burrell and drummer Simon Kirke. The band has been recognized as a defining rock band of the 1970s and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>A new album, Can&rsquo;t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company, is a tribute to honour the band.<\/p>\n<p>This album includes rock, country and Americana artists performing the band&rsquo;s songs.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers and Kirke also appear on the album.<\/p>\n<p>The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony can be streamed on Disney+ on demand. A primetime special featuring performances and moments from the show will air on Jan. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Rodgers of Bad Company has been a force in classic rock history <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":155,"featured_media":160329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,6],"tags":[148,149,119],"class_list":["post-160328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-regional-news","tag-awards","tag-music","tag-summerland"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>B.C. musician inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - The Interior News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"B.C. musician inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Paul Rodgers of Bad Company has been a force in classic rock history\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-11-20T19:47:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John Arendt\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"John Arendt\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\",\"name\":\"B.C. musician inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - The Interior News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40915221_web1_251127-SUM-Rodgers-honoured-SUMMERLAND_2.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-11-20T19:47:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#\/schema\/person\/9a13fd9c4651aa7caea3b81a20d4ed4a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/20\/b-c-musician-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40915221_web1_251127-SUM-Rodgers-honoured-SUMMERLAND_2.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40915221_web1_251127-SUM-Rodgers-honoured-SUMMERLAND_2.jpg\",\"width\":1838,\"height\":1226,\"caption\":\"Paul Rodgers, left, and Bryan Adams.
