We can now report that Ann Wilson will be inducting The Moody Blues into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14th in Cleveland after she let it slip during an interview in Standing Room Only.
Ann is a member of the Hall, inducted with Heart in 2013. Howard Stern already announced that he is inducting Bon Jovi. (We will continue keep our promise not to reveal the folks inducting Dire Straits, The Cars, Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpeuntil the Hall is ready to do so.)
In other Moody Blues news, last Friday they released their live film and recording from July 2017 in Toronto of their iconic album, Days of Future Passed.
Promoters had been after the band to do that album in its entirety for many years. But the charts for the orchestra had long since disappeared and it wasn't until 2015 that they decided they could put the wheels in motion after singer and guitarist Justin Haywardmet conductor Elliot Davis.
In addition to all of Days of Future Passed, the album also includes such Moodies staples as "I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band),” “Isn’t Life Strange,” “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere,” “Question,” “Ride My See-Saw” "The Voice," "Your Wildest Dreams," "The Story in Your Eyes" and many others.
The Moody Blues will be back on stage in September and October with a nine-date residency at The Wynn in Las Vegas.
