The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is dedicated to the most iconic figures in rock history. It documents the most notable figures who have influenced the development of the genre and honors artists that have made the most significant contributions.

To receive a nomination, artists must have released their debut record at least 25 years ago. This means that this year’s nominees entered the commercial music world in 1994. The list includes the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, and Soundgarden.

Last year, the final list of inductees included Radiohead, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Roxy Music, Def Leppard, The Cure, and the Zombies.

Six musicians and groups all worth their rock salt (sorry) formed part of this year’s induction list into the renowned Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The 33rd annual ceremony was held at the Cleveland Public Auditorium on Saturday night and is scheduled to be broadcast on HBO on May 5th.

Solidifying their musical prowess as part of the 2018 class was Bon Jovi, who reunited to open the evening with an electrifying set that included “Shot Through the Heart” and “It’s My Life.”

Lead singer, Jon Bon Jovi, said in his speech, “I’ve been writing this speech since I first strummed a broom and sang at the top of the stairs of my childhood home. I’ve actually written it many ways, many times. Some days I write a thank you speech and other days, I write an (expletive)-you speech.”

The band’s fellow inductees included The Moody Blues, Dire Straits (whose frontman didn’t attend because “he didn’t feel like it”), Sister Rosetta Tharpe, The Cars, and Nina Simone.

Simone, who died in 2003, was honored with tributes from The Roots, Andra Day, and a surprise performance by Lauryn Hill.

“Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young,” the statement began. “Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC. With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band. As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man. He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted. He took great pride in all that he endeavored. His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed.”

“As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special,” Angus said in the post. “He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever. Malcolm, job well done.”

Young was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His family moved to Sydney, Australia in the early ’60s, and in 1973 he formed AC/DC with Angus. The band was named after the “AC/DC” electrical marker the brothers saw on their sister’s sewing machine. Through the years, AC/DC released hits like  “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” “Thunderstruck,” “Hells Bells,” “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

AC/DC is the best-selling Australian band of all time with over 110 million albums sold. In 2003, the band and the Young brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, ET reports.

For the last three years, Young had been battling with dementia, forcing him to retire from the band. His last performance with AC/DC was at the conclusion of their Black Ice tour in June 2010 in Bilbao, Spain.

Young’s older brother, George Young, a longtime producer for AC/DC, died in October at 70.
