"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's presenters and performers for this year's induction ceremony fulfill a prophecy we've been waiting on for quite some time: David Letterman will be inducting his late friend Warren Zevon, a rite that the former late-night host has expressed interest in doing for several years. Zevon, who died in 2002 at the age of 56 from mesothelioma, was a recurring Late Show guest and substitute band leader who famously implored viewers to "enjoy every sandwich" on his final appearance."
"Other than Letterman's speech, the Rock Hall also announced the following artists as special guests for the November 8 ceremony: Beck, Brandi Carlile, Doja Cat, Elton John, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Olivia Rodrigo, Questlove, RAYE, Sleepy Brown, Taylor Momsen, Teddy Swims, and Twenty One Pilots. Additional guests will be announced at a later date. While some of these names are easy to connect with certain inductees - Rodrigo, for example, has been vocal about her White Stripes fandom,"
