The latest feather in Bob Seger’s rock ‘n’ roll cap will come next week, when the Detroit luminary is inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Seger — part of a 2012 inductees class that includes Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Steinman and Harvey Schmidt-Tom Jones — will also perform at the June 14 ceremony in New York, joined by five Silver Bullet players for “Turn the Page.” (The event will not be televised.)

The honor arrives amid a productive stretch for Seger, who turned 67 last month: He’s wrapping up work on a new album that could be out this fall, he’s got a collaboration coming with John Fogerty on a remake of CCR’s “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” and his “Ultimate Hits” set has become a massive Australian hit — prompting Seger to contemplate his first overseas concert dates since 1980.
