Just to clarify, Prince's induction wasn't over due as you are only eligible 25 years after your first release which means that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Prince into their hall in his first year of eligibility.

His performance on While My Guitar... lit the internet on fire - it was nice to see all those guitar-heads giving Prince respect for his work on the axe. The guy really is far more than I think many of his fans even know - what Prince does on guitar on a lot of his records is freaky as shit!

Here's the audio from Coachella for his performance of Little Red Corvette. The man destroys the axe here - so much melody complimented by so much skill = a scary guitar player.
