Run-DMC announced they will not perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow night. The reason? One of their members, DJ Jam Master Jay, was murdered in a shooting back in 2002. The other two surviving members, Run Simmons and DMC McDaniels made a vow they will never perform without DJ Jam. They still stick to that rule. However, Run and DMC will both participate in person to be inducted by Eminem.

That’s kind of too bad they won’t be performing, I was hoping they would but it’s understandable if they don’t want to do it under their friend’s death.

Eminem to perform on stage and cover a Run-DMC song? It’s possible…
