The White Stripes were among the acts inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this weekend.

The '00s indie rockers - comprised of Jack and Meg White - were bestowed the honour alongside Outkast, Joe Cocker and Soundgarden, in a star-studded ceremony at the Peacock Theater on Saturday 8th November.

Godfather of Punk Iggy Pop inducted the duo into the Hall of Fame, with a speech which saw him lead a chant of "White Stripes" as well as hum the band's memorable Seven Nation Army hook.

When it came time for frontman Jack White to take to the stage, he gave a lengthy speech and paid tribute to his "sister" Meg, who did not attend the ceremony.

The rocker also urged people to: "Get your hands dirty and drop the screens and get out of your garage".

Elsewhere, the ceremony included a tribute from Elton John to The Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, who died at the age of 82 this year.

Before kicking off his cover of the Pet Sounds classic, God Only Knows, the piano man stepped onstage and shared a few memories he’d shared with the late musician over the years, including their first meeting in Los Angeles.
