The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has officially announced this year’s inductees: Foo Fighters, The Go-Go’s, Jay-Z, Carole King, Todd Rundgren, and Tina Turner will join the class of 2021 in the Performers category.

....

The induction ceremony will be held at Cleveland, Ohio’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on October 30th. It will be broadcast on HBO Max and Streamed on HBO Max at a later date.

...
The live event will hopefully feature performances by every inductee that is present, though Turner lives in Switzerland and hasn’t performed since the end of her 2009 world tour. “We’d be so proud and honored to have her attend,” says Sykes. “It just depends on how she feels and whether she wants to fly to America. It would be quite a moment if she could. I promise you, if she cannot make the trip, there will be an incredible tribute paid to her by a group of artists.”

...
Three of this year’s inductees — Dave Grohl, Tina Turner, and Carole King — are entering the Hall of Fame for the second time. King was inducted along with her former songwriting partner Gerry Goffin in 1990 as a non-performer, Tina Turner entered in 1991 as half of the Ike & Tina Turner duo, and Grohl was brought in as Nirvana’s drummer in 2014.

About time for Tina. She has been shamefully overlooked by the r&r boy's club and though I don't think that will really ever change things at lease she will have this honor while still with us.

Happy for Tina, but disappointed for Dionne and Chaka. They are long overdue

I'm Happy to hear that both Tina Turner & Carole King are entering the R&RHOF [but sorry to hear that Dionne Warwick & Chaka Khan didn't make it].

This is great for Tina Turner and Carole King but, much like Unsung, I have given up on the RnRHOF.

Since you mentioned Unsung....have we missed the date for the Jones Girls episode? If not, when is it?

Am I correct that Unsung is on TV One? If so, I just discovered that I don't get that channel because I changed providers and it was on the old one but not the new one. So I hope it shows up on Youtube.

Thrilled for Tina, it is long overdue. She should have been the first twice-inducted female.

Not sure what it will take to get Chaka into the HOF. She is nominated year after year but keeps missing the final cut.
