GARY CHERONE Comments On VAN HALEN's Induction Into Hall Of Fame

Former EXTREME vocalist GARY CHERONE fronted VAN HALEN from 1997 to 1999 and sang on the band's ill-fated Van Halen III album, released in 1998. Recently he commented on VH's upcoming induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, slated to take place March 12th in New York.

"It was only a matter of time before the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame recognized one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, whose guitar player changed the course of rock 'n roll!

Congratulations to my friends Alex, Eddie, Michael, Dave and Sammy… The mighty Van Halen! An incredible honor.

PS: To answer the few fans who are wondering whether I should, or shouldn't be included? While yes, I was a small part of their history, I was certainly not a part of their legend, and that is what WE, the fans are celebrating!"
