Meanwhile, Janet Jackson is just one of the artists who will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2019.
The full list of nominees was announced back in October, before being whittled down to the final list. Other acts being inducted include Radiohead, The Cure, Stevie Nicks, Roxy Music, Def Leppard, and the Zombies.
To be eligible to enter the hallowed hall, an artist’s first commercial records need to have been released 25 years ago, in 1993.
