That would kind of highlight the fact that Belafonte doesn't have much to do with rock. If they wanted to point to Belafonte's connection to rock, that he helped popularize Jamaican music, they could do that by having a Jamaican artist such as Jimmy Cliff be his presenter.

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should make induction addendums for certain bands and announce them at the induction ceremonies, but the inductees would not attend. They would just have their names added as inductees with their bands on the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame website, and their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame trophies would get mailed to them with the year they were supposed to be inducted included on the trophies, not the year the addendums were announced.
