March 15, 2011
Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Neil Diamond Inducted Into Rock And Roll Hall Of FameAlice Cooper, Neil Diamond and Tom Waits were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in New York last night (March 14).

The ceremony, hosted by Paul Simon, took place at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and included guests Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Michael Douglas and Michael J. Fox.

Other musicians at the ceremony included Elton John, who presented an award to Leon Russell who he collaborated with on the album 'The Union' last year.

The Stooges, Abba and Genesis were all welcomed into the Hall of Fame last year.

Bands become eligible for inclusion to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after the release of their first recording.
