Eurythmics‘ second Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination “kinda came out of the blue,” according to the duo’s Dave Stewart. Eligible since 2007, the synth-pop duo’s other appearance on the ballot was in 2018, prior to Stewart and Annie Lennox’s reunion for Sting’s 30th We’ll Be Together benefit concert in New York for his Rainforest Foundation Fund. “We did quite a bit of sort of interviews with people, new photo sessions, which we hadn’t done for awhile, and little bits of film — I can’t remember everything, but we did quite a bit of stuff,” Stewart, who’s never attended a Rock Hall induction, tells Billboard. “And then we weren’t put in.
