Congratulations to the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, which includes Cher, Mary J. Blige, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Cher, Osbourne, Foreigner, Frampton, and Kool & the Gang are receiving the honor after appearing on the ballot for the first time. Osbourne is being inducted to the Rock Hall for a second time; he was inducted as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006.
The prestigious event will also honor Jimmy Buffett, Dionne Warwick, Norman Whitfield and MC5 with the Musical Excellence Award; Big Mama Thornton, Alexis Korner and John Mayall will receive the Musical Influence Award; and Suzanne de Passe will earn the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Back in December, Cher made a point of telling Kelly Clarkson that she wasn’t in the Rock Hall adding, “I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars … I’m never going to change my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves.” This year’s nominees were announced in February. Among those nominated this year who didn’t make the cut include Mariah Carey, Sade, Lenny Kravitz, and Sinéad O’Connor, who passed away last year. The 39th annual induction ceremony takes place at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. It will stream live on Disney+ and will air at a later date on ABC. https://twitter.com/rockhall/status/1782207816423313477 https://twitter.com/peterframpton/status/1782209811725070781 https://twitter.com/OzzyOsbourne/status/1782426860250665340
