Success for Foo Fighters and Jay-Z in their first year of eligibility.
Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Tina Turner, The Go-Go’s, Todd Rundgren and Carole King have been revealed as the 2021 inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
“This is the most diverse class of inductees in the history of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” chairman of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation John Sykes has told Pitchfork.
The news marks Dave Grohl’s second appearance in the hallowed halls after he was previously inducted with Nirvana, a similar accolade taken this time round by Tina Turner and Carol King.
“This remarkable ballot reflects the diversity and depth of the artists and music the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates,” Sykes said when the shortlist was announced in February.
“These nominees have left an indelible impact on the sonic landscape of the world and influenced countless artists that have followed them.”
