The list of speakers for 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
induction ceremony is in. It was announced that Trent Reznor will be a
presenter for the induction of British rock legends The Cure, while David Byrne
will do the same honor to the Radiohead.
Stevie Nicks will be inducted by One Direction Star Harry Styles while the rest of the list includes Janelle Monáe (for Janet Jackson), Queen’s guitarist Brian May (for Def Leppard), Duran Duran’s John Taylor and Simon Le Bon (for Roxy Music), and the Bangles’ vocalist Susanna Hoffs (for the Zombies).
Among the presenters, Brian May and David Byrne both had the
honor to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. May was inducted with
Queen in 2001, while Byrne followed a year later for his work with Talking
Heads. Trent Reznor was nominated in the previous two years with Nine Inch
Nails, but was snubbed, while Duran Duran and Bangles are yet to receive a nomination
despite being eligible for more than a decade.
This year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is set to
take place on March
29th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will air on HBO
in April.
