Chubby Checker will not attend his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Checker will perform a concert on the same day as the ceremony.

Chubby Checker ― the iconic singer who charted 32 hits between 1960 and 1966, including "The Twist" ― has decided he won't be attending his own Rock and Rock Hall of Fame ceremony.

In a twist of events, he even booked a gig on Nov. 8 ― the same day the ceremony is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles.

The Spring Gully, South Carolina-born singer, whose induction into the Hall of Fame was first announced on April 27, has not revealed where his performance will be held. But he did share his reasons for not attending the class of 2025 induction.
