The 36th annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony returned in-person after last year’s virtual ceremony, and drew a handful of stars in the music industry on Saturday evening.
Held in Cleveland, Ohio at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, this year’s ceremony is set to induct 13 music greats including Carole King, Jay-Z, The Foo Fighters and Tina Turner into the Hall Of Fame.
Performers at the star-studded event are set to include Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, H.E.R. and Jennifer Hudson.
