Zevon is best known for such songs as "Werewolves of London" and "Lawyers, Guns and Money," as well as "Keep Me In Your Heart," from his 12th and final studio album, The Wind. It was released in August 2003, just weeks before his Sept. 7 death at 56.
"I just wanted to put in my two cents of supporting Warren Zevon to be included," Joel told the Los Angeles Times in 2023. "If anyone deserved to be, he did. He was a real original, and I don't know if that's appreciated enough."
After revealing he had been diagnosed with cancer, Zevon said his emotional goodbye to the public during an October 2003 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, where he was the sole guest and musical performer. Letterman, a well-known Zevon fan, is scheduled to appear at Saturday's induction, so there's a good chance he'll take part in the artist's tribute.
