US rapper Eminem and guitarists from Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones are to welcome this year's inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Eminem will induct Run-DMC, who are only the second hip-hop collective to join the prestigious roll of honour, while Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page will present the award to Jeff Beck.
The ceremony, in Cleveland on April 4th, will also see The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood induct Bobby Womack.
Metallica will be inducted by Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, while Anthony and the Imperials will be welcomed by Smokey Robinson.
The performer inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
Bands become eligible for inclusion twenty-five years after the release of their first recording.
Others inductees this year include Wanda Jackson and Elvis Presley bassist Bill Black.
