Run DMC don’t perform at Hall Of Fame induction
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 6 April 2009
Run-DMC members Joseph ‘Rev Run’ Simmons and Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels said they chose not to perform at this weekend’s Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame induction show, where the hip hop outfit were inducted, out of respect for late bandmate Jam Master Jay, aka Jason Mizell, who was, of course, shot dead in a New York studio back in 2002.
McDaniels told MTV: “For me, I tell people, ‘Do you want to see me and Run running around without Jay?’ They tell me I could get Grandmaster Flash [to fill in]. But I can get any DJ in the world if I want. It wouldn’t be right. I can’t replace my drummer”.
