The ballots are in and tallied, and the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are:
-The Cure
-Def Leppard
-Janet Jackson
-Stevie Nicks
-Radiohead
-Roxy Music
-The Zombies
Of the seven inductees, Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks (as a solo artist) and Roxy Music were first-ballot inductees. In previous years, the “fans’ ballot” definitely did some foreshadowing of the actual class. Def Leppard, Nicks, The Zombies and The Cure all placed in the top five of the “fans’ ballot” and are now part of the official final tally.
The 2019 induction ceremony will be taking place on March 29, 2019 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Ticket information for the ceremony will be released in January.
Of the five bands part of the 2019 class, the following members will be inducted:
