Michael Jackson will remain a fixture at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Monday issued a statement confirming that it has no plans to remove Jackson from its exhibits, despite the damning allegations against the late artist.
"Michael Jackson was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1997 and as a solo artist in 2001. As with all of our inductees, Jackson was recognized for musical excellence and talent as well as having a significant impact on rock & roll, and was elected by a diverse voting body of historians, fellow musicians, and music industry professionals. Original artifacts and memorabilia from many artists’ lives and performances are on display in our exhibits. There are no plans for this to change," the statement said in full.
The HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland" features two men who say Jackson not only sexually abused them as children, but also brainwashed them into believing the abuse was a normal and consensual relationship.
The men denied the allegations as children, but have since found the courage and strength to come forward.
Michael Jackson is a two-time Hall of Fame inductee. He was inducted with the Jackson Five in 1977 and again as a solo artist in 2001.
