Red Hot Chili Peppers rocker Flea inducted headliners Metallica; who were joined onstage by former guitarist Jason Newsted, and Ray Burton, the father of Cliff Burton, the band's former bassist, who died in a tour bus crash in 1986.

Eminem inducted Run-DMC, who also took the opportunity to mourn former bandmate Jam Master Jay who was murdered in 2002, whilst Ronnie Wood introduced Womack and then joined the soul star onstage for a duet.

Led Zeppelin rocker Jimmy Page added extra sparkle to the star-studded event by jamming with his former Yardbirds bandmate Jeff Beck, after inducting him into the Hall. It's Beck's second induction, after the Yardbirds were sworn in back in 1992.
