rock & roll hall of fame

Many have shared their thoughts on possible induction.

Some of the most entertaining moments of the night happened between the songs.

Musicians of all stripes gathered for rock's most prestigious evening.

"One last one for the Killer," the Boss said.

Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox and Simon Le Bon also took part in the all-star performance.

It was a star-studded night in Los Angeles.

Duo performed "Sing for the Moment," which famously sampled Aerosmith's "Dream On."

They joined forces on a rendition of the Commodores' classic 'Easy.'

They welcomed Jimmy Iovine and Allen Grubman – then paid thunderous closing tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis.

'Rolling Stone' founder Jann Wenner insists he has no control over nominations.

"He’s spoken to management and said he will definitely be there," bassist Ian Hill said of metal band's former guitarist.

New inductees were in a celebratory mood after hearing the news.
