As the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony slowly approaches, announcements have been made regarding the event. Four of the inductees (Heart, Rush, Randy Newman and Public Enemy) will be performing at the Los Angeles held ceremony on April 18th. In addition, special guest stars will also be lending their talents to what should be a star studded attraction.
Paying homage to their Seattle roots, Heart will be joined on stage by Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains. They will be inducted by Chris Cornell who is best known as the lead singer of Soundgarden. Spike Lee and Harry Belafonte will be on hand as they will help pay tribute to Public Enemy.
