After news broke that Eurythmics were entering the Rock Hall, we caught up with them to get their reaction to the news, hear their plans for the big night, and look back at their amazing career.
Annie Lennox: Thanks. It’s been really nice. A lot of friends have been sending texts and emails.Dave Stewart: I feel great. It’s always nice to be recognized for all the hard work and the amount of songs that we put out and recorded and the amount of places we played. You tend to sort of forget as your life goes on, but then when something like this comes up you’re like, “Wow, I nearly killed myself.
Lots of critics then were stuck in the past. They saw synthesizers and weird music videos and didn’t get any of it. Stewart: You couldn’t get a more eclectic bunch, really, if you tried. Each one, in their own right, has been through it personally, but they’re all different. Judas Priest played endlessly and Carly Simon was nervous playing live, since she has stage fright, and yet she was making beautiful records. When Eminem came out, Annie and I were like, “Wow!” His words were coming out like bullets. Duran Duran have been performing now for like 40 years.
Stewart: Most duos, from the Everly Brothers to Hall and Oates to Simon and Garfunkel to whoever … at a certain point, something magic happened. There’s a spark that goes between those two people, like when they went back onstage together. You can’t explain it. It’s usually since they’ve known each other since they were kids. You’ve been through a load of things together. They may have nothing to do with music. You’ve struggled through a lot of things.
