Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Revealed: From Willie Nelson to Kate Bush, Check Out the Musicians Who Joined The Class Of 2023!

Willie Nelson just got an only slightly late 90th birthday present: an impending induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, reports Variety. The country music legend was one of seven artistes announced on Wednesday morning as having been voted into the Hall, along with Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, George Michael and the Spinners, Variety adds. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023 Announced! Kate Bush, Missy Elliott, Willie Nelson and More Make It to the List.

There are six more inductees beyond that list, with the distinction of being selected by a Hall of Fame committee to join the seven performers who were voted in via general balloting. These are singer Chaka Khan, instrumentalist-producer Al Kooper and lyricist Bernie Taupin, all in the musical excellence category; pioneering rock guitarist Link Wray and hip-hop originator DJ Kool Herc in the musical influence division; and Soul Train TV host Don Cornelius as recipient of the annual Ahmet Ertegun Award, Variety adds. DNA World Tour 2023: Backstreet Boys Arrive in Mumbai Ahead of concert, Receive 'Larger Than Life' Welcome from Hotel Staff (Watch Video).

These 13 honorees will be celebrated in an induction ceremony and concert to take place on November 3 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City. For anyone keeping score of the artistes who don't make it in, adds Variety, the seven nominees on the general ballot who missed the cut with voters this go-round (surely the Hall would prefer no one call them 'snubs') are A Tribe Called Quest, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, the White Stripes, and Warren Zevon.
