Stewart: I wouldn’t say I was worried too much. Did you start worrying that it wasn’t going to happen? Things have happened personally, musically, and in the world throughout these decades that you could never have anticipated. And so our journey has been really one of decades and decades. If it does, it’s never quite what you expect it to be. And then off you go and something maybe happens for you, or maybe it doesn’t. You have the feeling you want to express something. A musician is an aspirational creature right from the start. But things made some sense in a weird kind of way. We were talking and we both feel like some kind of circle has been completed. Lennox: I feel very reflective, to be honest with you. 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.” 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. A lot of friends have been sending texts and emails.ĭave Stewart: I feel great. (Spoiler alert: It’s probably not going to happen.)Īnnie Lennox: Thanks. Shortly after the news broke that they were entering the Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone hopped on a Zoom with Lennox and Stewart to get their reaction to the news, hear their plans for the big night, look back a bit at their amazing career, and talk about Stewart’s dream that they’ll reunite in 2023 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). They played “Fool on the Hill” during the 2014 A Grammy Salute to the Beatles television special, and in 2019 they did a thrilling mini set at the Rainforest Benefit in New York City. The synth-pop duo of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox haven’t released a new album since their 1999 reunion project Peace, and they haven’t toured in more than two decades.īut unlike many dormant duos, Stewart and Lennox have remained close friends and they occasionally re-form Eurythmics for special one-off events. There are nine new musical acts entering the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, and eight of them are active in one form or another.
