During the week of May 1, 2022, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced its inductees for the Class of 2022. Among the honorees are Harry Belafonte, Judas Priest, Sylvia Robinson, Carly Simon, and country legend Dolly Parton. The awards ceremonies will take place November 5 in Los Angeles and will air later on HBO and stream on HBO Max.
Steve Miller is among the many acts taking part in the upcoming 2022 BeachLife Festival to be held May 13-15 in Redondo Beach, CA. For those who cannot attend in person, this event will also be streamed live via BeachLifeFestival.com and at Volume.com/BeachLifeFestival.
Stevie Wonder will be honored with the Legal Defense Fund's inaugural Icon Award at the organization's 2022 National Equal Justice Awards Dinner to be held May 10 in New York City. The R&B legend will be recognized for his steadfast work throughout his illustrious career, spanning over half a century, which embodies LDF's values and demonstrates his commitment to confronting the barriers that face Black Americans and other marginalized communities.
Finally, The Rolling Stones' iconic tongue logo will be made into a new LEGO set in commemoration of the band's 60th anniversary. The set, which will be coming out on June 1, measures over 22" long by 18.5" wide and can be hung on a wall.
