nomination is a triumph for all music industry survivors. “Dave and I have a long history. We’ve pretty much done everything it takes to survive in the industry of music, just like all the artists who’ve been nominated for the Hall of Fame,” she explains in a statement. “We each have our individual pathway and our own unique life stories, through music making, recording and performance.”
During her career, Lennox has collected four Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and with Stewart scored the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music in 1999.

“We were both passionate about being creative above anything else,” she says of the Rock Hall nom. “It’s lovely to be nominated and to be seen as a contributor to the ever-changing cultural zeitgeist. Thanks must go to everyone we ever worked with and all the peeps who have loved our music, without whom ….”
