Jet frontman Nic Cester says he will never appear on The Masked Singer.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday at the ARIA Awards, the Aussie rock legend, 44, said the Channel 10 singing competition simply wasn’t his thing.
‘I don’t know if that’s necessarily my thing, but I think there’s room for everyone to do whatever they think they need to do,’ he said.
The veteran band – which consists of frontman Nic, drummer Chris Cester, bass player Mark Wilson and guitarist Cameron Muncey – celebrated their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the awards show.
‘It’s nice to be here receiving such an honour as well, so it’s going to be a really fun night,’ he said.

The honour not only highlighted the band’s significant contribution to the music industry, but also marked a homecoming for the group.
When asked about their plans for 2024, Nic revealed, ‘We’ve got some new material that we’re hoping to release, if things go well, and hopefully we can keep things going from here.’
During their acceptance speech, Nic alluded to the Israel-Hamas war.
‘There are some truly tragic, atrocious things taking place around the world,’ Nic, 44, said.

‘It’s often in moments like this I’m reminded of the importance of art and music. Music has always been an antidote in our lives during troubled moments.
‘A place of refuge where thoughts, feelings and emotions can be processed and sometimes shared in a way that can bring people together.’
