Six artists are inducted into the hall of fame each year with an official ceremony taking place in Los Angeles this September.

The organisers described Rachel as 'a true representation of the outstanding talent that an independent artist can possess'.

The singer said: “I am totally overwhelmed to have been chosen and to be the first British person ever to be inducted is an absolute honour.”

Rachel will become the first British musician to be inducted.
