Rolling Stone reported, \u201cKing 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 &#038; Tina Turner duo, and Grohl was brought in as Nirvana\u2019s drummer in 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to get inducted twice and we have three this year,\u201d said Sykes. \u201cIt\u2019s also a rare year where three of the six inductees are women: Tina, Carole, and the Go-Gos. It just shows the continued power and relevance and recognition of women in music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This year, there are more inductees outside of the Performers category than the event usually includes. The outlet reported that while most years there are two or three of those inductees, this year will have seven.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThat\u2019s because we\u2019ve really created, for the first time this year, special committees that actually nominate and induct artists,\u201d said Sykes. \u201cThese are very diverse committees that actually include artists themselves like [Run-DMC\u2019s] Darryl McDaniels, Little Steven, and Tom Morello.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">LL Cool J<\/span>, Billy Preston, and Randy Rhoads will get the Musical Excellence Award while <span class=\"s2\">Kraftwerk<\/span>, Gil Scott Heron, and Charley Patton will receive the Early Influence Award. Sussex Records founder Clarence Avant will get the Ahmet Ertegun Award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Rolling Stone said that LL Cool J and Kraftwerk were both nominated six times in past years, but did not get through with the regular procedures. Giving them the Musical Excellence and Early Influence awards allows them to go around the voters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many are eager to get back to in-person events after the world adapted to a mostly virtual environment over the past year. Induction ceremonies in the past have taken place at the Public Hall, which seats 10,000 people. This year, however, the event is being moved to the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse which seats 20,000 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe just needed more room,\u201d said Sykes. \u201cTickets go so fast and we wanted to have as many people from the Cleveland area be able to attend the show as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sykes discussed the ceremony in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and a return to normalcy. \u201cI think we\u2019re going to see this fall as the very beginnings of the reopening of live music in America,\u201d said Sykes, who noted that the event will comply with COVID-19 guidelines. \u201cAn event like the Rock and Roll of Fame induction ceremony will be a precursor of what we\u2019re all looking forward to getting back to in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
