Andy Taylor, an original member of Duran Duran, is not at the RockHall2022 induction. Simon Le Bon read a letter from Taylor in which he revealed he is battling stage four prostate cancer.
Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, the Eurythmics and Carly Simon were the other top vote-getters. The induction ceremony will take place in L.A. in November.Greetings from the Microsoft Theater, where audience members — music-biz VIPs and regular plebes alike — are settling into their seats and HBO camerapeople are scurrying to and fro ahead of what promises to be a very long night of back-slapping.
Greg Harris, the Rock Hall’s chief executive, popped in just before showtime to tout the 13 million visitors to the museum and million-plus students reached since its inception 27 years ago. This year is an exceptionally eclectic class, featuring Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics and Eminem among the inductees.
“Rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t know boundaries,” Harris said. “Rock ‘n’ roll is inclusive, rock ‘n’ roll is broad and as you can see from this year’s induction class, rock ‘n’ roll is incredibly diverse. It’s an attitude, a spirit. It’s always pushing the envelope. It’s the sound of every new generation defining itself and carrying itself forward. To pick up from Berry Gordy, it’s the sound of young America, but it’s also the sound that stays with us through our entire lives.
