What The Artists Say About This Great Honor Many of the artists being inducted next year released statements sharing their excitement about being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here are the statements according to Variety: Stevie Nicks said, "I have a lot to say about this, but I will save those words for later. For now, I will just say, I have been in a band since 1968. To be recognized for my solo work makes me take a deep breath and smile. It’s a glorious feeling." Radiohead released a statement saying, "The members of Radiohead have been surprised to learn of the band’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2019. The band thanks the Hall of Fame voting body and extends congratulations to this year’s fellow inductees." Janet Jackson simply said, "Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am truly honored and I am happy to be in there with my brothers." Joe Elliott from Def Leppard said, "Now we can stop holding our breath. How wonderful to be in the same club as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and the Who and Queen … It’s a nice badge of honor." Lastly, Colin Blunstone of the Zombies talks about waiting. The band was eligible since 1989. He said, "You do start to doubt that it could happen. I’ve tried to be fairly philosophical about it and tell myself that if we don’t get inducted, it’s just a bit of fun. Don’t take it too seriously. But of course when you’re actually inducted, everything changes. You think, 'This is a career-defining life-defining moment'."
