Bill Withers may be performing at his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April.

The 76-year-old crooner, who has not released a new album since 1985, and who is principally known for his hits "Lean On Me," "Use Me," "Just The Two of Us" and "Ain't No Sunshine," has not officially confirmed that he will play at the ceremony.

Instead, he noted, "Of course I want to play . . . There are some people that can sing in their later years and some of them that can't.

I don't want to be one of those old guys that sounds like a gerbil trying to give birth to a hippopotamus. So, we'll see."

Other inductees at this year's ceremony include Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Green Day, Lou Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
