Discussing his fellow 2021 inductees, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl praised the diversity of this year's Rock Hall. "Tina Turner, obviously, deserves everything that she’s been awarded with,” he said. "And Carole King is a big one, and the Go-Go’s. To see so many women inducted this year is impressive and encouraging.”
This year's inductees are Foo Fighters, Tina Turner, Carole King, The Go-Go’s, Jay‑Z and Todd Rundgren, as well as Kraftwerk, Charley Patton and Gil Scott-Heron for the Early Influence Award, LL Cool J, Billy Preston and Randy Rhoads for the Musical Excellence Award, and Clarence Avant for the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
