It was the group’s first performance in eight years, and came as part of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Ferry appeared onstage with musician Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzanera, performing the songs 'In Every Dream Home A Heartache', 'Out Of The Blue', 'Love Is The Drug', 'More Than This', 'Avalon' and 'Editions Of You'.

They were also inducted into the Hall of Fame with a speech from Simon Le Bon and John Taylor of Duran Duran.
