Guitarist Mick Field – who’s the one authentic member of the prog rock band left within the present line-up – revealed their followers are eager to launch a petition to get them honoured.

Chatting with the newest subject of Goldmine journal, Mick stated: “Individuals have been making rumbles about it, and I feel our followers try to get a petition collectively for it to get the appropriate numbers to warrant being there.

“However I feel over time, and possibly we deserve a spot, however they’ve a variety committee that chooses what bands go in and what bands do not.

And there is nothing we will do about that actually.

“All I do know is that we have been going for over 52 years now, have 25 albums, bought over 40 million albums, and have toured in 62 nations, so there may be some benefit for us to be there.

I am certainly one of these individuals who can go onstage and produce an ego to carry out, however then I can go away it onstage and are available again and be Joe Schmo once more. They’re the weather actually, and the truth that you introduced a lot pleasure to folks’s lives and impressed folks. Essentially the most rewarding factor for me is when folks come as much as me after the present and say, ‘Look, I noticed you play at such and such place and also you blew me away and it was unbelievable and also you made me need to be in music, and I now play in a band, and I simply need to thanks for it.’ And that is probably the most rewarding factor, inspiring folks to deliver music into their lives, as a result of to be sincere, music is life and life is music.”
