On Tuesday, December 11th, the members of one of Seattle’s best-known rock bands, Heart, were notified that they would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2013. The 28th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, Thursday, April 18, 2013. It was an honor that eluded them last year, but deep in our own hearts, we knew that it was only a matter of time that the band would get their due.

They also talk about their long-term friendship that dates all the way back to junior high and what inspired them to be musicians. In addition, the two artists share their feelings on what it will be like to stand on the podium with their former bandmates to accept the special honor.
