“It’s really exciting,” Idol, 70, said in February 2026. “It would be incredible this year. This is 50 years ago when I started (with the band Generation X), so it would be really incredible.”
Idol formed the punk rock band Generation X in London in 1976. The band released the albums Generation X (1978), Valley Of The Dolls (’79), and Kiss Me Deadly (’81), the latter of which featured an early version of Idol’s later solo hit “Dancing With Myself.” As a solo artist, Idol found massive fame with the ‘80s hits “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” and "Eyes Without a Face,” which were all fueled by the rise of MTV.
In addition to Idol, nominees for the class of 2026 for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame include Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Iron Maiden, and 13 more.
When he was originally nominated for the honor last February, Idol told Ultimate Classic Rock that he was "knocked out" to receive his first nomination.
