Ringo Starr will get the royal treatment — a speech by Paul McCartney and a performance by brother-in-law Joe Walsh — when he's inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month in Cleveland.

The Hall has just announced the presenters and some of the performers who will appear at the 30th annual ceremony on April 18 in Cleveland's Public Hall. The proceedings will be taped for airing on HBO May 30.
