Ringo is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Congratulations Ringo on today's announcement and Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the Award for Music Excellence!

"This year's class also recognizes the "5" Royales with the early influences award, and former Beatle and solo artist Ringo Starr enters the Hall of Fame - the last of the Fab Four to be inducted as a soloist, following John Lennon in 1994, Paul McCartney in 1999 and George Harrison in 2004."

"As we mark 30 years of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, we're proud to honor these artists," said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation President Joel Peresman. "These Inductees epitomize rock and roll's impact over the past 50 years and continuing through today."
