Nicks and Jackson are among the seven acts honoured this year
Stevie Nicks, Janet Jackson and The Cure lead this year’s class of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, which includes seven acts in total.
All were honoured during a five-hour ceremony in Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre on Friday. Radiohead, Def Leppard, Roxy Music and The Zombies are also among the seven singers and bands getting recognised this year for having contributed “over 25 years of musical excellence”.
Nicks, who was previously inducted into the hall of fame along with the rest of Fleetwood Mac, became the first woman to receive the distinction twice. She and Jackson called for other women to join them in music immortality, as they were honoured at the same time as five all-male British bands.
