The 30th Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony was held last night in Cleveland. Although the event won’t be televised until May 30th (on HBO), a slew of details, photos and videos have already been shared on social media and Rolling Stone (which has deep ties to the institution).
Below watch Ringo’s finale with a little help from all the stars, followed by a collection of the top tweets, links and pictures to surface online:
