DJ Kool Herc and Link Wray will also be recognized for their musical influence in the industry. Bernie Taupin, Al Kooper, and Chaka Khan will all be receiving a musical excellence award.

"This year's incredible group of Inductees reflects the diverse artists and sounds that define rock & roll. We are honored that this November's Induction Ceremony in New York will coincide with two milestones in music culture; the 90th birthday of Willie Nelson and the 50th Anniversary of the birth of Hip Hop," Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation John Sykes said in a statement.

Kate Bush Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Fans noted that Kate Bush was the artist who was the most overdue for a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
"She's been nominated many times, so the nominating committee was very happy that the general ballot voted Kate in this year," Sykes said in a statement.
Bush's popularity grew in 2022 after her song "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" skyrocketed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts almost four decades after it was released. It had a surge in streaming and appreciation from younger generations because it was used on the hit Netflix show "Stranger Things" Season 4.
