Get Bill Champlin to Play with Chicago for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
As most of you know, Chicago was just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and will be inducted in April 2016. Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine will be reuniting with the band to accept the award and perform. But, what about Bill Champlin?? Even though he came into the band in 1981, he was still a huge part of the band until he exited the band in 2009 to pursue a solo career. Bill Champlin still plays with Danny Seraphine and I'm hoping if we get enough signatures, Bill can come back even for one night only to play with the band again!

I really thought this might just be a total pipe dream when I first typed it out on my phone while listening to old records late at night. Seeing the way this has taken off is honestly surreal because Bill really deserves that moment on stage even if the industry people don't see it yet.

Even though it's the original 7 getting inducted seeing others that contributed to the great legacy of the band should be there to perform. Who knows as we hit the 50th anniversary not saying a whole tour but a great night in Chicago with present and past members performing on the same stage would be really cool.
Being only 25 years old, Bill and Jason were the first Chicago vocalists that I heard. His songs in the 80s and 90s were incredible! Songs like Hearts in trouble, You're not alone, Come in from the night and many others! Bill and Jason were the voice of Chicago for many younger Chicago fans like myself! He deserves to be performing with them!
Bill should be play as Peter suggested.
Bill Champlin did a lot for the band and whatever reasons for his departure he should be on that stage inducted with them period.
Wouldn't be the same without him! Bill is The MAN!!
Love Bill's work!!
