Billy Idol and his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens have shared their reaction to the news that they will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame this fall along with metal legends Iron Maiden, as well as Phil Collins, Oasis, Joy Division/New Order and more.

Idol had this to say, "Being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside so many of my heroes and influences is a tremendous honor. And to be inducted alongside my longtime compatriot Steve Stevens makes this all even more special.

"When I first started playing with Generation X 50 years ago, it was purely out of love for the music we were making and the scene that we were lucky enough to be a part of. Nobody, especially me, thought it would take me to where I am today.

"I'm incredibly grateful to all the people who have been behind me over the years, because none of this would have been possible without them. This honor is for my fans, and everyone who has been on this journey with me, as much as it is for me."

Stevens added, "I am deeply honored to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Billy Idol. If there's anyone that deserves to be in the HOF it's Billy. For more than four decades, we have shared a remarkable journey full of music, creativity and unforgettable experiences. Thank you to the Rock Hall, to the fans, and to everyone who's been part of the story!"

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony will be taking place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 14th and will be broadcast on ABC and Disney+ in November.
