The votes are in and GUNS N' ROSES, the SMALL FACES, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, THE BEASTIE BOYS and DONOVAN will be part of the class of 2012 at the 27th Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductions, taking place April 14 in Cleveland, Ohio.

According to Billboard.com, fans are anxious to see if the estranged original band members will regroup to perform or even appear together to accept their trophies. Last month guitarist Slash told Billboard.com that "with Guns N' Roses, there's really no guessing exactly how it will go. I suppose if it happens, everybody will get some sort of ducks in order."

Frontman Axl Rose, the only founding member left in the GN'R lineup, said on VH1's That Metal Show that "I don't know what it means in terms of me with the old band and the old lineup. If we were to be invited, I don't know what they would ask of me. It's up in the air."

The April ceremony will be taped for broadcast by HBO, which plans to air it in early May. Like the 2009 inductions, which were also held in Cleveland, the April event will be open to the public; tickets go on sale for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum members at 10 a.m. Dec. 16, and to the general public at 10 a.m. the next day. Tickets are $50 and $100, with a two-ticket limit on all orders. More information is available at Rockhall.com.

In addition to the induction ceremony, the Rock Hall will host more than a week of special events, including the grand opening of its revamped library and archives, concerts - including a gospel tribute - and educational programs. Details will be announced in the near future.
