Jet frontman Nic Cester says he will never appear on The Masked Singer.
Speaking to Chron Australia at the ARIA Awards on Wednesday, the Australian rock legend, 44, said the Channel 10 singing competition just wasn’t his thing.
“I don’t know if it’s necessarily my thing, but I think there’s an opportunity for everyone to do what they feel they need to do,” he said.
The experienced band – consisting of frontman Nic, drummer Chris Cester, bassist Mark Wilson and guitarist Cameron Muncey – celebrated their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the awards ceremony.
“It’s also nice to be here and receive such an honor, so it’s going to be a really fun evening,” he said.

The honor not only highlights the band’s significant contribution to the music industry, but also marks a homecoming for the group.
When asked about their plans for 2024, Nic revealed: “We have new material that we’ll hopefully release if everything goes well and hopefully we can take it from here.”
During her acceptance speech, Nic alluded to the Israel-Hamas war.
“There are some really tragic, cruel things happening around the world,” said 44-year-old Nic.

“In moments like these, I am often reminded of the importance of art and music.” Music has always been an antidote in our lives during difficult moments.
