Blackmore says Deep Purple managaer deep sixed him from induction

Ritchie Blackmore is apparently claiming that Deep Purple's manager wants him 'banned' from the group's April 8 induction into the Rock Hall Of Fame.  The guitarist issued a statement saying that he received notice from the Hall President indicating that Bruce Payne does not want the Hall to allow him to participate in the April 8 ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.  Knowing something of the band's past history of ball breaking, it could turn out to be a prank.  Then again, even before this latest incident, actions were taken to exclude others from the event (story).
