Country music’s own Keith Urban is set to perform onstage at Saturday’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony with 2024 inductee Peter Frampton.
Perhaps unbeknownst to some, Keith and the “Baby, I Love Your Way” singer share a friendship that dates back to Keith’s pre-superstar era.
“I met [Keith] very early on when I moved here the first time in the mid-’90s. So that was before he had any success. And apparently, I don’t remember this, but he tells me we wrote something together,” the English rock star recounts with a laugh.
“I’ve known him for so long and he’s such a dear, sweet guy and a great performer and he’s so successful. I’m so thrilled for him,” Peter tells ABC Audio. “So, wonderful guitar player, singer and songwriter.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Other country stars tapped to perform tributes include Jelly Roll and Kenny Chesney.
The 2024 induction ceremony, taking place at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, will stream live on Disney+ Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. On Jan. 1, ABC will air the special 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, featuring performance highlights.
