THE EVENT Stars and fans alike showed up at New York's Waldorf-Astoria on March 15, to spotlight some of music's most legendary icons and idols at the 19th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
THE FAMED Inductees Bob Seger, ZZ Top and the Dells, presenters Outkast, Dave Matthews and Robert Townsend, and fans Chris Rock, Drea de Matteo, John Mellencamp and Michael J. Fox, among others
THE STAGE Gucci-clad Alicia Keys, who had recently performed Prince's "Kiss" with Missy Elliott and Gwen Stefani in London, says she was thrilled to induct His Royal Purpleness into the Hall of Fame. And music's reigning sex symbol proved himself worthy, kicking off the show with his live performance and bringing everyone to their feet. Bob Seger, on the other hand, was fighting sore vocal chords. "I get a kick out of other people doing my stuff. Tom Cruise's thing in Risky Business was great. Believe me, you'd never want to see me in my underwear." Just play us that "Old Time Rock & Roll" instead, thanks.
