Iggy Pop will perform a tribute to Madonna at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony next week.

The rocker and his band The Stooges is scheduled to perform at the ceremony in New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel before Justin Timberlake presents the ‘Queen of Pop’ with her award.

In 2004, Iggy and The Stooges opened for Madonna in Dublin, Ireland, on her ‘Re-Invention Tour.’

Other performances at the ceremony will include Damien Rice, in a tribute to Leonard Cohen, James Cotton for Little Walter and Patti La Belle for Gamble and Huff. John Mellencamp, The Ventures and The Dave Clark Five will also play live on the evening.

"It's to recognise 25 years of writing, producing and recording," Madonna said about her induction.

“That’s a long time to do a job well, I might add. So yeah, it's a great sense of accomplishment.”

Madonna’s new album ‘Hard Candy’ will be released worldwide in April. The songstress admits she is nervous about how the new material will be received by her fans.

"I am very anxious and nervous and hopeful that people will like it,” she said.
