The rock and roll hall of fame is one of the most prestigious titles in the music industry. Many legends have been inducted over the years, including Guns N Roses, Heart, Rush and the king of horror Mr Alice Cooper but to name a few. 2015, however is the year that Green Day join them!
To be inducted, the band or artist has to have been in the music industry for 25 years and over, and/or have to have made a significant contribution to the industry. A handful of bands/performers get selected each year, and there is an induction ceremony that usually falls in the april after they have been chosen.
This is Green Day's first year of being eligible, which is a great achievement.
When told about the induction, Billie Joe found it hard to process the information:
"I had to go for a walk," he told Rolling Stone "I wound up at this cafe and I sat down and my son met up with me. I told him and he was like 'Oh my God. No way.' It just took some time to sink in. We're in incredible company and I'm still trying to make sense of this. It's just incredible."
The ceremony will take place on April 18th in Cleveland, OH
Well done boys!
