Jet frontman Nic Cester says he will never appear on The Masked Singer.

Speaking to Ny Breaking 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 that’s necessarily my thing, but I think there’s room for everyone to do what they think they should do,” he said.

The experienced band – which consists of frontman Nic, drummer Chris Cester, bassist Mark Wilson and guitarist Cameron Muncey – celebrated their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame during the awards ceremony.

“It’s nice to receive such an honor here too, so it will be a very nice evening,” he said.

The honor not only highlighted the band’s significant contributions to the music industry, but also marked a homecoming for the group.

When asked about their plans for 2024, Nic revealed: “We have new material that we hope to release, if all goes well, and hopefully we can keep things going from here.”

During their acceptance speech, Nic alluded to the war between Israel and Hamas.

“There are some really tragic, horrific things happening around the world,” Nic, 44, said.
