It appears that JUDAS PRIEST are currently behind Eminem, DURAN DURAN, Pat Benatar, Dolly Parton, EURYTHMICS and Lionel Richie in the fan vote for this year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductions.
As of this point, more than one million votes have been cast with fans being able to vote every day through the Hall Of Fame’s web site up until April 29. The top five artists, as selected by fans, will comprise the “fans’ ballot” which will be tallied along with the other ballots to select the 2022 inductees.
For this years eligibility, artists first single or album must have been released in 1996 or earlier. JUDAS PRIEST have been eligible since 1999.
The final list of inductees will be announced in May 2022 with the induction ceremony taking place in the fall.
The JUDAS PRIEST members that would get inducted, according to the institution, would include current members Rob Halford (vocals), Ian Hill (bass), Glenn Tipton (guitar) and Scott Travis (drums), along with former members K.K. Downing (guitar), Les Binks (drums) and late drummer Dave Holland.
We’ve officially hit one freaking million fan votes. @Eminem, @duranduran, @benatargiraldo, @DollyParton and Eurythmics round out the current top five – with @LionelRichie in a close 6th. But there’s lots of time left, so continue to vote daily at https://t.co/keewGnGnnD. pic.twitter.com/rWMW0Dx6YZ
