Keith Urban shreds with Peter Frampton at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Peter Frampton gave an electrifying performance alongside Keith Urban at Cleveland's Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Saturday as the guitar god was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Frampton – who was introduced by The Who's Roger Daltrey – started alone, singing “Baby (Somethin's Happenin)” and delivering a whale guitar solo while sitting in an office chair. Urban came out next with Frampton providing backing vocals as the two played dueling solos on “Do You Feel Like We Do.” Frampton, meanwhile, showcased his signature talkbox sound.

“My motivation has always been my passion for playing guitar,” Frampton said of his career in his post-performance speech, also calling for his former band Humble Pie to be nominated for the Rock Hall.

Frampton was stunned when he learned he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year. “This is something I never expected,” he said Rolling Stone in April. “Because I was suited to it so long ago, I kind of pushed it to the back of my mind… That's because I keep working. I never gave up. I kept coming back and doing more stuff and I kept touring. I have built up a fan base again, which is now huge.”

According to him, a pivotal moment came last year when Sheryl Crow invited him to perform at her induction ceremony. “Sheryl was the first person I called when I found out,” he said. “I thanked her. I think most people in the public assumed I was there. I gave her first concert, I'm told, when she was 13. Her inviting me when she came in got me in front of a lot of people. She said, ‘Look, this guy isn’t here yet.’ She helped me a lot.”

Five years ago, Frampton thought his touring days were coming to an end because he was diagnosed with the degenerative muscle disease Inclusion Body Myositis. But he can still play guitar and sing, even if he has to sit on stage now. “I think the crowd is so behind me because I don’t want to give up,” he said Rolling Stone. “I am a fighter. I’m going to play until I can’t anymore.”
