Dear Family, Friends, Fans, and NE4LIFERS— We see you. And we appreciate you. Over a million votes? That’s love, and we felt every bit of it. Yeah, we didn’t get inducted this year, but don’t get it twisted… we’re just getting started. If you know the game, you know this ain’t always first-round picks. Ask Dave Matthews Band — they ran it back 6 years straight before they got their flowers. So we’ll be back. Stronger and better, because we know all of you will be behind us every step of the way. And Congratulations to every artist that got in this year! You deserve it as well. To everybody who rode with us — thank you. Keep that same energy. Keep that same fire in 2027 when it’s time to vote again. We love you. Always. —Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny / New Edition
