Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony full of emotions as Phil Collins, Queen Latifah, more inducted

Resumen detallado

Saturday night's Rock & Roll Hall of Came ceremony brought out stars and emotional tributes as Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Luther Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, Oasis, MC Lyte, Sade, Joy Division/New Order and Iron Maiden were inducted during the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, along with producer Rick Rubin.

Queen Latifah, Oasis, MC Lyte, Sade, Joy Division/New Order and Iron Maiden were also inducted during the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, along with producer Rick Rubin, who got a long-bearded tribute from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

A night that beforehand felt like it might fall flat with the absences of key inductees was as lively and overloaded as the induction ceremony ever is.

U2 was the night's surprise opener, playing their new single Silencio while surrounded by dancers in riot squad gear. They then launched into their 1984 classic Pride (In the Name of Love) as singer Bono alternately raised a peace sign and fist.

Run DMC and Aerosmith were the surprise closers with a loud jam of Walk This Way, their 1986 classic collaboration, produced by Rubin.

The 75-year-old Collins, whose mobility trouble and other health problems kept him from performing, took the stage slowly using a pair of canes and cried at a huge ovation from a crowd that included his daughter, actor Lily Collins, and four other children.

Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker inducted Collins and praised him for his unprecedented dual stardom as a drummer and a hit-making pop singer in the 1980s.

"I grew up just wanting to play the drums," Collins said. "Everything else has been a really happy accident. I can't believe, when I look back, how life has gone."
