Keith Richards, Jay-Z Inductors At Rock Hall of Fame

Keith Richards, Jay-Z and Eddie Vedder are amongst the names signed up to induct people into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month.

Jay-Z will be presenting Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five with their award, while The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards will induct The Ronettes and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder will do the honours with R.E.M.

Elsewhere, Velvet Revolver will introduce Van Halen and Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de la Rocha will do the induct Patti Smith.

Van Halen were due to perform live at the event, but this has fallen through after their reunion dramatically collapsed last week. Velvet Revolver are tentatively set to take their place.

The ceremony takes place on March 12 in New York.
