P!nk Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—‘She Changed the Face of Modern Rock’
In a night brimming with emotion, raw power, and decades of unforgettable music, P!nk—born Alecia Beth Moore—was officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, cementing her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the 21st century.
The ceremony, held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, was a star-studded affair with tributes pouring in from fellow icons including Steven Tyler, Melissa Etheridge, and Kelly Clarkson, all of whom credited P!nk with reshaping the boundaries of pop-rock, redefining female artistry, and pushing the genre into bold, uncharted territory.
“She changed the face of modern rock, and she did it unapologetically,” Etheridge declared during her heartfelt induction speech. “She proved that vulnerability and rebellion could coexist—and that you could be both fierce and compassionate on the same stage.”
P!nk took the stage to a thunderous standing ovation before delivering a fiery 15-minute medley of her biggest hits, including “Just Like a Pill,” “So What,” and “Try.” Midway through her performance, she stunned the audience with a signature aerial display—soaring over the crowd in a harness while belting “Raise Your Glass,” symbolizing her career-long defiance of gravity, genre, and expectation.
In her acceptance speech, P!nk became emotional as she reflected on her journey. “I didn’t think a loudmouth girl from Doylestown, Pennsylvania who refused to follow the rules would be standing here,” she said. “This honor isn’t just for me. It’s for every outsider, every misfit, every person who’s ever felt too different for the mold. Rock & roll is about truth, and I always promised myself I’d tell mine.”
Fans around the world celebrated across social media, trending hashtags like #PINKHOF2025 and #RockLegendP!nk within minutes. For many, the induction wasn’t just a milestone—it was long overdue recognition for a voice that has inspired a generation and refused to be silenced.
With this induction, P!nk’s place in rock history is forever sealed.
