Last night on “American Idol,” Ryan Seacrest and Class of ‘22 member Lionel Richie revealed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026 inductees. While New Edition led the fan vote, the group didn’t make the final cut. INXS lost out despite being in the fan vote top six, but they are in good company with Mariah Carey, Shakira, and Lauryn Hill.
