Phish come out on top as Oasis only score 99,500 in final Fan Vote for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Phish have come out on top in the final Fan Vote for entry into the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The veteran rock band secured a whopping 330,000 ballots.
Bad Company landed second place, receiving 281,000 of the votes.
In third place is Billy Idol (260,500 votes), followed by Cyndi Lauper (237,000) and Joe Cocker (234,000).
Despite the huge demand for their first tour in 16 years, Britpop legends Oasis only managed 99,500 ballots.
Even pop diva Mariah Carey was ahead of them, with 138,000 ballots.
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher previously made it clear he doesn't care if the band are inducted after they earned their second nod.
Following the unveiling of the longlist in February, the outspoken rock'n'roll star lashed out at the museum and institution, but confessed he'd probably still attend if the 'Morning Glory' rockers were to be chosen for induction and would act like it was the "best thing ever".
He reacted on X: "RNR hall of fame is for W******.'
Liam also wrote: 'F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG (sic)"
When one fan asked what he's going to do if he wins, the singer replied: 'Obv go and say it's the best thing EVER (sic)"
It's not the first time Liam has mocked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, having previously declared he doesn't want to be a part of "anything that mentally disturbed".
Speaking after Oasis were nominated in 2024, he The Sunday Times: 'As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favour and f*** off.
'It's like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don't want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I've done more for rock n' roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it's all a load of b*******.'
Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording.
The Class of 2025 will be unveiled on Sunday's (27.04.25) episode of 'American Idol'.

Billy Idol nearly died from heroin overdose
Billy Idol almost died from a heroin overdose. The 69-year-old rocker had returned to London in 1984 to celebrate his success in the US but his partying with friends got out of hand and the group had to revive the Rebel Yell hitmaker when he "turned blue" and collapsed. Speaking on documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival on Tuesday (10.06.25), he said: 'I was coming back in triumph and I nearly ruined it. 'We flew to London where we met a load of our pals that we knew. They had some of the strongest heroin. Everybody did a line or so and they all nodded out except for me and this mate of mine.' As the rest of the group passed out, Billy and his friend kept taking the drug. He continued: 'I was basically dying. I was turning blue. So they put me in an ice cold bath and I remember them walking me around on the top of the building, on the roof.' Billy insisted he and his peers never considered the dangers of heroin and it was a drug the music scene had "embraced" at the time. He said: 'A number of people were on it. But you know, you're wide open for it. A lot of the people we loved were all heroin addicts. 'Lou Reed wrote the song 'Heroin.' You weren't thinking how dangerous it was. In fact, you're thinking quite the opposite. Maybe this could unleash something.' The White Wedding rocker ultimately gave up the drug for good when he and a friend caused $75,000 damages to a hotel in Bangkok at a time when his son Willem, now 36, was a baby. At one point, he recalled passing out in an elevator with the doors opening and closing him, while police were called when he threw a log through a glass window. He said: 'Mel Gibson was there with his family on holiday, horrified. 'The silver lining was I did put heroin behind me. It was too horrible, the whole experience. It actually really put me off. 'Getting off heroin is one of the most awfulest experiences in the world. Boy George said it right when he said it's like your skeleton trying to get out of your body. There's no quick fix. It's such a long time. You're just counting the days, the seconds, the hours. Even after six months, you still feel lousy.'

Liam Gallagher admits Oasis 'wasted precious time' as he rejoices over Britpop legends' reunion tour rehearsals
Liam Gallagher has admitted it's a shame Oasis "wasted precious time" apart amid his 15-year estrangement from brother Noel. In July, the Britpop legends are reuniting for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after finally burying the hatchet last year. The Supersonic band have been busy rehearsing the past few days, and frontman Liam admits it's a shame they've missed out on so much because of his vicious feud with Noel, 58, as he hailed their practice sessions "spiritual". A user asked on X: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times? (sic)" To which, Liam replied: "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time (sic)." Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade. Liam recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour. The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium shows this summer. One fan messaged him on X after his admission: '@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations.' Liam replied: 'Shut up you melt.' Another user asked the singer: '@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?' – to which Liam responded: '@adele_liam I did 2 pacs.'
