All but Kim spoke, expressing how much they missed Cobain. Love was surprisingly brief in her comments. She then embraced Grohl and Novoselic in their most visible physical interaction in decades.
Cobain died April 5, , so the musical segment at the show had been the source of much speculation. Joan Jett, singer-songwriter St. Britain's Peter Gabriel was inducted by Coldplay singer Chris Martin, and made light of his elaborate stage outfits as a member of Genesis in the s.
Rock legends Kiss were one of the more controversial inductees, having pulled out of a performance at the ceremony over a disagreement about their line-up. Famous for their elaborate stage make-up and costumes, the band wanted to play with their current line-up, including founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, causing friction with retired members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. But the quartet made peace and saluted each other in heartfelt induction speeches.
Glenn Frey, who played in Ronstadt's band before joining the Eagles, led her induction with a glowing tribute to "one of the greatest voices of all time". She sold over million records and had a career that spanned five decades," he said. The ceremony also saw the first ever inductions for managers of rock bands, which went to the late Brian Epstein, who guided the Beatles to stardom, and Andrew Loog Oldham, who launched the careers of the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton.
However, the former Stones' manager boycotted the ceremony. I think those people basically hijacked the name 'rock and roll. It is the highest calling for an artist to capture a moment, to embrace and define their time. Michael Stipe. Class of Brian Epstein Ahmet Ertegun Award. Peter Gabriel Performers.

Chad, where are you? Hey, Chad! Dan Peters, from Mudhoney, who got to play one show with Nirvana — thank you, Danny. Like Michael said … [ reacts to people from Springfield ] Really?
You could afford the train? We came from this underground punk rock scene where there really were no awards or ceremonies or trophies — it was all about doing it for real, and the reward was doing it right and doing it for real and sharing the community of music. Helping other musicians and inspiring people. And so I got really lucky to grow up in the Washington D. We were lucky that we found a manager named John Silva and we met an accountant named Lee Johnson.
Most of all, I have to thank my family because I was lucky enough to grow up in a musical family and in an environment that encouraged music.
Parents that never told me not to listen to fucking Slayer, you know what I mean? I listened to some really, really fucked-up shit!
But my parents never told me not to, because I was finding myself. So Mom — thanks. Thanks for letting me drop out of high school [ laughs, points at trophy ]. I have to thank my beautiful wife, Jordyn, and my two daughters, who I hope grow up to inspire people just like every musician I grew up inspired by.
Kurt was an intense artist and he really connected with a lot of people. With Nirvana, we started in Aberdeen, Washington — in Washington state — and we had a infrastructure there to support us. It was a music community. I want to thank Buzz Osborne — thank you, Buzz, for joining us in punk rock music. I want to thank Jack Endino, who recorded our first record.
