The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees include a diverse range of artists such as Mary J. Blige, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, and A Tribe Called Quest.
Cher’s presence adds to the star-studded lineup, and she teased that she would “have some words to say” during the event, hinting at a memorable acceptance speech delivered in her unique style.
Despite the ceremony’s historic significance and celebration of musical achievements, Cher playfully pointed out that she is not yet a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
This playful remark underscores the ongoing discussion around the Hall’s recognition of women in the industry, with Cher’s close friend Tina Turner only being inducted as a solo act, highlighting the challenges faced by female artists in gaining recognition within the institution.
