Others in Cleveland-based Rock Hall's Class of
2021 include the band Foo Fighters, singer-songwriter Carole
King and rocker Todd Rundgren.
Turner will be inducted for her solo work. She previously had
been honored for duo Ike and Tina Turner. Dave Grohl of Foo
Fighters was inducted earlier as part of Nirvana.
King also is a two-time honoree, this time as a performer.
She was previously inducted as a songwriter with Gerry Coffin.
Honorees were selected based on ballots sent by the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame to more than 1,200 artists, historians and members
of the music industry. Members of the public also provided votes
that counted as a single ballot.
The honorees are scheduled to be inducted at an Oct. 30 ceremony
in Cleveland.
