Neil Young to induct Pearl Jam into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

New York - Pearl Jam will be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by frequent collaborator and rock legend Neil Young this spring.

Young and Pearl Jam memorably joined forces to play Young's Rockin' in the Free World at MTV's Video Music Awards in 1993. Pearl Jam regularly covers the song on tour. Members of the band played on Young's 1995 album Mirror Ball.

The Hall also announced on Friday that Jackson Browne will induct folk legend Joan Baez, and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush will present fellow progressive rockers Yes at the 7 April ceremony in New York.

Presenters for other inductees Tupac Shakur, ELO, Journey and Nile Rogers haven't been announced.
