When Peter Frampton was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April, he told us he couldn't reveal who he wanted to induct him at the ceremony this Saturday in Cleveland in case it didn't pan out.
Two legendary names and longtime friends were at the top of his list -- and one, Roger Daltrey, who was inducted into the Hall as a member of The Who in 1990, agreed to do the honors.
Frampton first met Daltrey when his first professional band, The Herd, were part of a package tour in 1967 with The Who, Traffic and The Tremeloes.
The other choice was former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, who managed and produced one of Frampton's first semi-pro bands, The Preachers.
Also joining the celebration on Saturday is country singer and guitarist Keith Urban, who will sit in with Frampton and his band.
Rounding out the 39th class of inductees in the Performer Category are Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Kool & the Gang, and A Tribe Called Quest.
The Musical Influence Award will go to Alexis Korner, John Mayall and Big Mama Thornton, all of whom are deceased.
The Musical Excellence Award recipients are Jimmy Buffett, Norman Whitfield, MC5 -- all deceased -- and Dionne Warwick.
And Motown executive Suzanne de Passe will be honored with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Saturday's induction ceremony will stream live on Disney+ starting at 6 p.m. followed by a three-hour highlights show on ABC on New Year's
