CLEVELAND (AP) — An All-Star jam featuring some of rock's biggest names ended this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the final act to be inducted, were joined on stage by Ronnie Wood, Slash of Guns N' Roses, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and others for a stirring performance of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," closing the event after more than five hours.
Among the night's highlights was a reunion of some of Guns N' Roses original members, who played without lead singer Axl Rose. He skipped the event, which rocked on without him.
