The musical institution held its annual induction ceremony on Friday night, where it welcomed Janet Jackson, The Cure, Def Leppard, Radiohead, The Zombies, Roxy Music, and Stevie Nicks were welcomed.

Nicks made history as she became the first woman inducted twice, as she is already a member in her capacity as the singer for Fleetwood Mac. “What I am doing is opening up the door for other,” she said during her speech.

Fellow female, Jackson, also issued a challenge to the Hall of Fame, saying: “In 2020, induct more women.”

Janet also paid tribute to her famous family. “As the youngest in my family, I was determined to make it on my own,” she said. “I was determined to stand on my own two feet. But never in a million years did I expect to follow in their footsteps.”

Def Leppard thanked their fans who helped them win the online fan vote. “I think it is a nice badge of honour,” said frontman Joe Elliot. “I don’t think it’s going to make too much difference to many people. It was something that we weren’t overly concerned about until the fan vote thing became a major part of it. The people that really matter to every band are the audience.”

Radiohead’s drummer, Phil Selway, also acknowledged the band’s sometimes aloof demeanour, saying, “We may not be the greatest musicians around and we’re certainly not the most media-friendly of bands. But we have become very adept at being Radiohead. And when that connects with people, it feels amazing.”

Rock on!

Metamorphosis will be a deeply personal journey for Jackson, since its official description promises it will peels back the layers of her private life, and share her transformation from an insecure young girl to the global icon we know today.

“The centerpiece of this all-new thought-provoking show will be Janet herself, captivating you through your senses with electrifying visuals, explosive dance numbers, chart-topping hits and fan favorite deep cuts,” reads Jackson’s official statement about her Las Vegas residency.

Metamorphosis will mark 30th anniversary of Jackson’s career defending album Rhythm Nation. Series of 15 shows will take place at the Park Theater at the Park MGM resort, starting with first concert on May 17.

And Steve Nicks is one of those people.

The Fleetwood Mac singer has become a part of history as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has made her the very first woman to be inducted twice.

The 70-year-old is already in the prestigious club as a member of Fleetwood Mac but has now been welcomed in her own right as a solo artist following 3 nominations.

“The fact that I’ve been able to have these two careers my whole life… It has made my life amazing because I’ve been able to have these two amazing careers and live in two completely different worlds,” she told Rolling Stone.

The Go Your Own Way singer is joined by fellow 2018 inductees, Janet Jackson, Def Leppard, Radiohead, The Cure, and Roxy Music and the Zombies.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 34th induction ceremony will take place on the 29th of March at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The King of Pop died 8 years ago after being given an array of medication from his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, to help him sleep.

With 13 Grammy awards to his name and 13 number one singles in the US, Michael achieved the Guinness World Record for Most Successful Entertainer of All Time.

Dozens of tributes poured in for the late artist to mark his birthday.

His sister, Janet Jackson, created a video inspired by his own hit, Remember the Time, with the aid of Kwaylon “BlameItOnKway” Rogers, Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor, and Diamond Batiste.

Music producer, Mark Ronson, who was responsible for “Uptown Funk”, crafted a remix of Michael’s biggest hits, including “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”, “Billie Jean”, “Smooth Criminal”, “The Way You Make Me Feel”, and “Human Nature”.

Several stars also acknowledged 6 decades of the singer by sharing pictures and messages on social media:

Rapper Kanye West posted a clip of him listening to “Never Can Say Goodbye”.

The event was a slightly somber affair in light of the recent shooting at Texas’s Santa Fe High School in which 10 people were killed. “Once again we’re grieving for more kids that have died… I’m so sick of moments of silences… it’s not working. Mommies and daddies should be able to send their kids to school,” said the mother of four.
