It’s Official: Rush to be Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Long overdue, but it has been done. Rush will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
It never seemed very important to the trio on whether or not this day would come. This rings loud in what is one epic response from Geddy Lee:
“It’s a terrific honor and we’ll show up smiling… It made my mom happy, so that’s worth it,” he told Rolling Stone. “It was a cause [Rush fans] championed. I’m very relieved for them and we share this honor with them, for sure.”
The band’s official statement also included mention of the members’ parents:
“We are honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 3 of us are especially appreciative of our loyal fans whose support and dedication has gone a long way to making this possible. P.S. And special thanks to our moms for voting 6000 times!”
Rush will be joined by Public Enemy, Heart, Randy Newman, Albert King, Heart and Donna Summer as new inductees. The ceremony will be held April 18, 2013 in Los Angeles.
FINALLY! What an amazingly talented group of guys. And I think it’s awesome they give props to their moms. :) I’d probably do the same thing. BUT, wow what an eclectic class for this years induction! I HIGHLY doubt they will all jam together or something… although that could be interesting. :) It’s too bad Albert won’t be there :( But then again neither will Donna Summer… we’re losing amazingly talented people at a rather alarming rate. Sad.
Donna Summer, Randy Newman? Rock ‘n roll? Am I missing something?
It is all a complete mystery where the HOF is concerned.
Heart???
You’re right, Tim! Not sure how they got left out of the story… but that’s fixed now. Thanks.
About. Damn. Time. Guess I can put this on my places to visit now. ;-)
You mentioned heart twice haha.
Is Curry ecstatic?
