Neil Young to Induct Pearl Jam Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In September, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Joan Baez, Journey, Electric Light Orchestra, and Yes were announced as this year’s inductees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Today, details of the April 7 ceremony have been announced: Neil Young will induct his sometime collaborators Pearl Jam. Jackson Browne will induct Joan Baez, while Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush will induct Yes. The ceremony will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, while the Rock Hall itself—in Cleveland, Ohio—will open a special exhibit on this year’s inductees in conjunction with the ceremony. 

This year’s list of Rock Hall nominees included Chic, Depeche Mode, Janet Jackson, Bad Brains, Kraftwerk, Jane’s Addiction, MC5, Chaka Khan, the Zombies, and the Cars. While Chic were not inducted this year, Nile Rodgers has been given the Award for Musical Excellence.
