Green Day to be inducted in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

American punk rock band Green Day will be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for 2015.
The 'American Idiot' hitmakers became eligible for the Hall of Fame this year after they completed their 25 years since the release of their first album 1,000 Hours (1989), reported Rolling Stones.
"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has always held something for me because my heroes were in there. I had to go for a walk.
"I wound up at this cafe and I sat down and my son met up with me. I told him and he was like, 'Oh my God. No way.' It just took some time to sink in. We're in incredible company and I'm still trying to make sense of this. It's just incredible," said Green Day's lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong.

A list of 15 artistes was announced by the Rock and Roll board and out of those only six made it to the final list, who will be honoured next year.
"As we mark 30 years of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, we're proud to honour these artists. These Inductees epitomise rock and roll's impact over the past 50 years and continuing through today," said the Hall of Fame's foundation president Joel Peresman in a statement.
The other five artists who are inducted in the list are Bill Withers, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Lou Reed and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
