Christina Aguilera, John Mayer to play Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction

John Mayer, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson are among the stars set to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Mayer, who recently returned to the stage to sing for the first time in more than a year, will play in honor of Albert King with Gary Clark Jr., then induct the late bluesman. Aguilera and Hudson will salute Donna Summer. Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins will induct Rush and hall of fame member Don Henley will induct Randy Newman at the April 18 ceremony in Los Angeles. This marks the first time since 1993 that the induction ceremony will be held on the West Coast.

Public Enemy and Heart will also enter the hall of fame, along with lifetime achievement award winners Quincy Jones and Lou Adler. More performers and presenters will be announced later.

Last year's performers included Kid Rock, Travie McCoy, ZZ Top, The Faces and others.

Tickets for the ceremony go on sale to the public Feb. 1. It will be broadcast May 18 on HBO.
