But on Friday afternoon, fans got an up-close-and-personal look at the band when they showed up in person at Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame museum for the unveiling of the Class of 2018 plaque.

According to Cleveland.com, fans filled the top three levels of the museum in hopes of catching a glimpse of Jon Bon Jovi and the group, including former guitarist Richie Sambora, who’ll perform with his old band mates on Saturday night.

In a brief speech, Jon told the crowd, “We now join a very elite group…and on behalf of my guys, I wanna say, we’re thrilled, we’re honored and it’s about f***in’ time!”

TV and radio personality Howard Stern will induct Bon Jovi. This year’s other inductees include The Cars, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues and the late Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
