Patti Smith to Induct Lou Reed Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Fall Out Boy to Intro Others

Dave Grohl, John Legend, Joe Walsh, Tom Morello and Jimmie Vaughan will all perform at the ceremony. Starr has put it on his former bandmate to get some musicians together for his induction set.

"I told Paul [McCartney] that I'm not putting a band together," he said. "If he puts a band together, I'll do 'With a Little Help From My Friends.'"

Green Day has not performed for an entire year, but Billie Joe Armstrong has promised a unique setlist that will include something from the band's early days.

"We'll get there," he said of the performance. "It's hard because there's the Lookout years that are important to us. It would be nice to play something from those years that's meaningful."

Reed, who died in 2013, inducted Dion and Frank Zappa into the hall in 1989 and 1995. He was inducted as a member of the Velvet Underground in 1996 -- Smith introduced him back then as well. The surviving members paid tribute to bandmate Sterling Morrison, who had died a year earlier, with "Last Night I Said Goodbye to My Friend."

Last year's class included Kiss, Linda Ronstadt, Hall and Oates, Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens and Nirvana.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will air on HBO May 30.
