Membership of the UK's Music Hall Of Fame might be about to become very exclusive indeed, as the future of the annual classic artist back-slapping bash is very much in doubt. As previously reported, after three years of inducted artists into the Hall Of Fame via a Channel 4 aired (and funded) TV extravaganza, the whole project was put on ice last year when C4 said it could no longer fund the award show and no sponsor was forthcoming. The plan was to get a sponsor in time for a 2008 Hall Of Fame show, but according to Music Week that now looks unlikely, leading to speculation the whole venture will be shelved. There was originally talk of the Hall Of Fame being transformed into a museum at The O2, similar to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame in the US, but I've no idea if that's still being considered.
