Their induction ceremony will take place at the Hollywood Guitar Center on April 23 at noon. They are also scheduled to make a performance outside the store.

The molded handprints would later be put alongside those by other rock icons like Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Elvis Presley, Bonnie Raitt, and Eric Clapton.
RockWalk is dedicated to those who have made an impact in the evolution of rock, blues and R 'n' B. The Pumpkins began their career in the late '80s but received their mainstream success only in 1993 when they released the album "Siamese Dream". The band have gone through a couple of line-up changes but Corgan and Chamberlin are the two original members to date.
The band said that they will record the follow up to the 2007 "Zeitgeist" this May at their newly purchased studio in Chicago.
