Deep Purple May Reject Rock Hall Induction

(Classic Rock) Deep Purple's Roger Glover says even if the band were inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, it's at least 20 years too late. And he says if they were voted in, they might not accept and tell the Hall to "forget it."

The band have been nominated for induction twice in 2013 and 2014, but have yet to make it in, but Glover says he isn't bothered. He tells radio show Noize In The Attic: "We're kind of ambivalent about The Hall Of Fame - we don't care about it that much. If they do induct us, then they're at least 20 years too late as far as I'm concerned.

"They should have done it when Jon Lord was still alive when it probably would have had a bit more meaning. But if we do get in, and decide to accept it, which is up in the air, we might just say, 'Forget it.'"
