Actress and singer Bette Midler will induct the late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill from ZZ Top will induct Freddie King, Robbie Robertson will induct Cosimo Matassa, and Carole King will induct Don Kirshner. The ceremony will also feature Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns and Smokey Robinson inducting The Blue Caps, the Comets, the Crickets, the Famous Flames, the Midnighters and the Miracles.
Guns N' Roses will also be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the ceremony, however, their inductee has yet to be announced.
In the week leading up to the induction, the Hall of Fame will debut a library of archives, a redesigned interior and a special exhibition honoring the Grateful Dead.
