It makes Carole and Tina the second and third female artists – following Stevie Nicks’ 2019 induction – to be recognised twice by the hall. Carole was inducted alongside ex husband Gerry Goffin for their songwriting in 1990, while Tina was recognised as a performer alongside former collaborator and ex-husband Ike Turner back in 1991.

Also included in the 2021 cohort of inductees are Foo Fighters, JAY-Z and Todd Rundgren in the ‘Performers’ category.

Meanwhile, Kraftwerk’s will be recognised with the Early Influence Award, alongside Gil Scott-Heron and Charley Patton.

LL Cool J, Billy Preston and Randy Rhoads will each receive the Musical Excellence Award.

Chairman of the awards John Sykes said: “This is our most diverse class in the history of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“It really represents the Hall’s ongoing commitment to honour the artists that have created not only rock and roll, but the sound of youth culture.”

“It’s very difficult to get inducted twice and we have three this year,” he added of Carole, Tina and Dave Grohl’s respective achievements. Dave was previously inducted as a member of Nirvana. .

“It’s also a rare year where three of the six inductees are women: Tina, Carole and The Go-Gos,” he continued. “It just shows the continued power and relevance and recognition of women in music.”

This year’s induction ceremony will be held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse arena in Cleveland, Ohio on October 30.

The full list of inductees is as follows:
