On this day {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}} - 1996}} years ago, Billy Corgan inducted Pink Floyd into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. He gave a roughly six minute speech, opening with "I know it's a little late, I'll keep my remarks to the length of an average Pink Floyd song." Interestingly the paper notes he read from have the "Zero" single artwork on the back of them. He then joined the band on guitar for a performance of "Wish You Were Here". Corgan praised the song in his speech and how it helped him come to terms with his grandmother's cancer diagnosis when he was 17 years old. Corgan would perform "Wish You Were Here" with Roger Waters at his Music Heals event on October 16, 2015. Corgan then occasionally performed a piano rendition during the Ogilala tour and the 2019 tour of the US, and by The Smashing Pumpkins during their 2019 tour of Europe. It has been performed about {{show count|Wish You Were Here}} plays in total, most recently on The Howard Stern Show in December 2020. <nowiki>https://spcodex.wiki/Billy_Corgan_1996-01-17</nowiki> <nowiki>https://spcodex.wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here</nowiki>
