A few minutes ago in response to a question I asked him on Facebook:

"I'm going to New York in March as part of the induction ceremony, but
no performance is planned - officially. Then in June/July I'm hoping
to tour in the States". - Steve Hackett

Which other (ex)members of Genesis are on Facebook?

Has PG made any puplic comment about Genesis being inducted?

It's from his official Facebook page, which is moderated, but he's
currently answering questions submitted by fans that are passed on to
him (and Jo) by the moderators.

Steve's the only one I've found, but I haven't really looked.

He's said he won't perform at the induction, but I don't recall the
source.

Sadly, it is no surprise at all. Get over yourself PG and embrace that
great part of your career already. (Aint gonna happen, I know)

He could do the Lamb title track. He's been running from his Genesis
years as much as possible since '78. He's been a massive solo
superstar, get over it and embrace your whole career! I can understand
78-85, if would have been a bad career move, but today? C'mon!
Stubborn Genius!
