This year’s 2020 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, originally scheduled for May 2nd was set to be a real crackerjack, with the likes of Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and T-Rex all gearing up to be welcomed into the ranks of history’s finest artists. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, this year’s celebrations at Cleveland’s Public Hall have now been pushed back until November 7th.
But never fear – the good folks over at The Hall Of Fame have been busy been uploading new (old) footage to its YouTube channel in order to keep music fans entertained while they wait for this year’s celebrations. The incredible collection includes top-shelf performances and acceptance speeches from the likes of Neil Young, Stevie Nicks, The Stooges, Prince – whose earth-shattering performance you can watch below.
