Human Nature Announced As 2019 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees

Human Nature have been announced as inductee for the ARIA Hall Of Fame at next month's ARIA Awards. 

The group are currently celebrating their 30th year together, with members Andrew Tierney, Mike Tierney, Phil Burton and Toby Allen presented with the Medal Of The Order Of Australia for their service to performing arts and entertainment during that time. 

Their extensive recording career includes albums like Reach Out: The Motown Record, Telling Everybody, Walk The Tightrope and more, and has seen them tour with acts like Celine Dion and hold a residency on the Las Vegas strip. 

"We are so incredibly humbled by this honour to be inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame," said the group. 

"All we have ever wanted to do for a career is to entertain people, and to have had the fans continually support us over the years both in our home of Australia and overseas, is really something we never dreamed of. To be inducted on the anniversary of our first ever performance as a group & in our 30th year since forming makes us so grateful. 

"We are so looking forward to coming back home and celebrating this honour with our family, friends and fans on November 27th at the 2019 ARIA Awards."

"The 30 year career of Human Nature is a truly unique Australian success story," said ARIA Chief Executive, Dan Rosen. 

"From teenage friends to multi-platinum stars to keepers of the Motown flame, they have won over audiences all around the world. I am thrilled to have them in the ARIA Hall Of Fame and congratulate them for their incredible career."

"It has been incredibly special to be a part of Andrew, Mike, Phil and Toby’s journey as Human Nature right back from those very early days and to watch them develop into the amazing talent they are today," added Denis Handlin AO, Sony Music Entertainment Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Australia and New Zealand and President of Asia. 

"I am enormously proud of their outstanding achievements both at home and overseas. Their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame is a wonderful honour that caps off a brilliant 30th year for them as Human Nature."

The 2019 ARIA Awards take place in Sydney on Wednesday, 27 November.
