The recently created Illinois Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum has announced their Class of 2022 inductions. This is the organization's second round of inductions. Interestingly Styx did not make the first. Unlike the Cleveland R&RHOF, nominations are created from votes from the public to which members of the museum cast their votes to induct. COB for the museum, Ron Romero has announced that Styx is to be inducted. In addition to being included in the induction of Styx, DDY will also be inducted in their songwriter category. According to Romero, the band has declined to attend the induction ceremony on June 5th. There is a unconfirmed plan to present the award at the band's show in Chicago the day before the induction ceremony. I say unconfirmed because the band has yet to release or make ANY comments\statement about this honor. DDY has posted about the induction and is expected to be in attendance for the ceremony.
While it would be considered "speculation", it's glaringly obvious by the band's silence that TS\JY\CP do not want to attend due to DDY's participation. Having said that, things "could" change but I would say the odds are against it. This decision could end up hurting the band's image more then they think. To me it is both pathetic and sad.

So the induction ceremony was held on June 5th. As mentioned above, the band was not in attendance. They were presented with the award at their concert the day before. They haven't made any mention of this induction on the band's official social media nor published an official video of the award presentation. All that exist is fan videos from those in attendance. The band has never handled their PR well and this is a prime example. DDY was scheduled to attended the ceremony and perform but several days before the ceremony he took a fall and injured his shoulder. He did make a acceptance speech via video. Here it is for those who may not have seen it.

Why should fans spend any effort trying to get them in to the ROR HOF if this is the level of appreciation that they have for anything?
