7 Emotional Moments From Nirvana's Hall of Fame Induction

Grunge rock band Nirvana entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony on Thursday, 20 years after the world lost Kurt Cobain in 1994.

Inside New York City's Barclays Center, Nirvana's surviving members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear played some hits with help from a few singers. Joan Jett, Lorde, St. Vincent and Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon took turns wailing on the mic.
