Neil Diamond and Alice Cooper Next Into Rock Hall of Fame

And despite his stellar career, Neil Diamond insists he was in no rush to enter the Hall, telling the Associated Press, "I thought about it occasionally, but I kind of figured they'd get around to me at some point."

Love adds, "Finally it's done. It still hasn't hit me yet. I still have that nervous stomach, and I'm still excited."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum induction ceremony is slated to take place on 14 March (11) in New York.
