The Associated Press

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is this weekend. Who's getting in and who's showing up?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Idol , Oasis , Wu-Tang Clan , Phil Collins, Sade , Queen Latifah , Iron Maiden , Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. But the list of who will show up and perform is getting shorter daily and looking awfully thin, and it's difficult to know what the ceremony will look like with so many artists not playing the sets that define the show. Sade's representative told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she won't attend, a day after fans learned that Oasis will be a no-show. Iron Maiden and key members of New Order previously revealed they aren't coming. And Phil Collins is likely to appear but not play. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame may make a few announcements later this week about who is inducting the new members and who may perform their songs in their place, although organizers like to keep much of the show a surprise. For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two
