"Bad Company were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Mick Fleetwood on Saturday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. After Fleetwood sang the praises of the band during his speech, founding Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke was joined onstage by the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, Heart's Nancy Wilson, and Aerosmith's Joe Perry for a performance of "Feel Like Makin' Love" that started out with a little technical glitch. Bryan Adams then took over the mic for "Can't Get Enough," and while Robinson and Adams both gave it their all, it's hard to match the powerhouse vocals of legendary Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers."
"Unfortunately, Rodgers had to bow out of the ceremony a week ago due to health reasons, stating, "My hope was to be at the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and to perform for the fans, but at this time I have to prioritize my health. I have no problem singing, it's the stress of everything else." Following the performance, Kirke accepted the honor from Fleetwood, and immediately acknowledged Rodgers, calling him one of the greatest singers of all time. The drummer also paid tribute to late member Mick Ralphs, who died earlier this year, and Boz Burrell, who passed away in 2006. A video message from Rodgers followed, who dedicated the honor to the band's fans, ending with, "My prayer for us is that we all choose love."
