In November 2022, legendary synth-pop pioneers Eurythmics—featuring the dynamic duo Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart—took the stage together once again for a rare and electrifying performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Los Angeles. It was one of the few times the pair had reunited since their split in 1990.
Their rendition of the iconic hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” captivated the audience, reminding everyone why their sound defined an era and continues to resonate across generations.
The performance was part of the 37th annual Hall of Fame event, which also paid tribute to influential artists such as Dolly Parton, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, and Pat Benatar. The induction of Eurythmics celebrated their trailblazing musical vision and the lasting mark they left on pop and rock music.
Just a few months prior, in June 2022, Lennox and Stewart had briefly reunited to perform “Here Comes the Rain Again” during their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Their appearance at the Rock Hall solidified their status not only as groundbreaking songwriters but also as performers with enduring stage presence.
Critics and fans were unanimous in their praise, highlighting the duo’s unmistakable chemistry and the timeless quality of their music. For long-time followers, it was a moment of heartfelt nostalgia, while new listeners were introduced to the unique magic of Eurythmics.
Their induction and show-stopping performance reinforced their profound influence on music and sealed their place as icons of the 1980s and beyond.
