Like The Moody Blues, Bon Jovi have bumped the number of band members being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame from five to six.
With the Moodies, the addition of singer-guitarist Denny Laine was a no-brainer. But Bon Jovi will bring along Hugh McDonald, who wasn't made an official member until last year, when they're inducted.
Last week's announcement included the original lineup of Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Tico Torres and Alex John Such. McDonald became the fill-in bassist in November 1994 when John Such was shown the door, but didn't achieve full-time status until 2016.
We once again reached out to the Rock Hall and Bon Jovi for comment, but have yet to hear back.
- With the Rock Hall brass announcing that additional members of the Moodies and Bon Jovi are being inducted, you can only imagine that this will ruffle the feathers of Paul Stanley of KISS, who felt that band's numerous other members should have been recognized when they were inducted in 2014.
