Nicks commented on her solo Hall of Fame induction in this statement: “I have a lot to say about this, but I will save those words for later.

Def Leppard tweeted: “It’s official, we are 2019 @rockhall Inductees. THANK YOU to all of our fans & the Rock Hall committee! What a way to wrap up an incredible year.”
