“Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation,” the hall said Saturday, a day after Wenner's comments were published in a New York Times interview.
Wenner co-founded Rolling Stone in 1967 and served as its editor or editorial director until 2019.
He also co-founded the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which was launched in 1987.
Last year, Rolling Stone magazine published its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and ranked Gaye's “What's Going On” No.
___This story has been updated to correct that Wenner was a co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and not the founder.
