The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame did a great job celebrating many different genres that influences rock music and youth cultures over the years. In addition to country legend Parton, soul singer Richie, and hip-hop titan Eminem, they also honored new wave duo Eurythmics, synth-pop band Duran Duran, and rock singers-songwriters Pat Benatar and Carly Simon.

Parton’s acceptance speech was one of the night’s highlights, especially since it comes months after she tried to reject her nomination because she didn’t feel deserving of this honor.

“This is a very special night for me. I’m sure a lot of you knew that back when they said they were gonna put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t really feel like I had done enough to deserve that… But I’m just honored and so proud to be here tonight,” said Parton in her acceptance speech.

She joins in the ranks of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe, and Brenda Lee as one of the rare artists to be inducted into both the Rock & Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame.

The acclaimed musician announced that his sold-out appearance at Wynn Las Vegas will be followed by a new stage show.

Lionel Richie — Las Vegas is heading to Sin City’s Encore Theater. The three-night engagement will take place between 11-13 March 2020, and will feature stories from throughout his career as well as his greatest hits.

“We knew that American Idol on ABC would unleash an opportunity for singers from all walks of life to realize their dreams and that these incredible contestants would have America rooting for their success,” said Channing Dungey, president of ABC Entertainment. “I am thrilled that Katy, Luke, Lionel, and Ryan will be back to once again embark on this Idol journey with us to discover the next crop of inspiring talent.”

ABC has tried to establish its own singing competition in the past including the short-lived Rising Star in 2014 but didn’t manage to catch the attention of the audience. The network then decided to make a deal with FremantleMedia North America and 19 Entertainment reviving American Idol, which previously aired on Fox for 15 seasons (2002-2016).

“American Idol’s return on ABC has shown once again that viewers love to discover and support raw talent,” said Trish Kinane, president of Entertainment Programming, FremantleMedia North America, executive producer and showrunner of American Idol. “Our new judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie have brought huge credibility, energy, and fun to the show this year, and we are so excited to continue the journey with Ryan Seacrest at the helm in the search for the next superstar.”

Although American Idol had its ups and downs during its first season on ABC, it managed to generate strong rating since the start of the live shows, establishing itself as Sunday’s number one entertainment broadcast series in each of its eight telecasts this season. The finale of the first season is scheduled for May 21st.
