Peter Frampton will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, and while he’s been eligible since 1997, he’s still surprised by the honor.

In a new interview, the legend explained, “You know, I never expect anything in my life. I’ve just put my head down and worked. And those accolades that have come my way are always unexpected and very welcome, obviously. I didn’t quite realize how many people out there wanted me, almost more than I did, to be in the Hall of Fame. That’s what blew me away.” He also believes he benefited from changes behind the scenes at the Rock Hall, but regardless, he notes, “I’m just honored that they thought of me this time.”

The 2024 induction ceremony, taking place at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, will stream live on Disney+ at 7 p.m. ET.

On Jan. 1, ABC will air the special 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, featuring performance highlights.
