Rock and roll history was made Wednesday night on ABC during the 39th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
Some of the most well-known artists in the music industry were included in the 2024 group of inductees: Cher, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, Peter Frampton, Jimmy Buffet, Dionne Warwick, A Tribe Called Quest, and Kool and the Gang.
Being selected for induction into the Hall of Fame is a significant honor, and the event must be truly special to match the importance of the occasion. The ceremony featured unexpected duets, emotional speeches, and numerous unforgettable moments.
The ceremony kicked off with Dua Lipa paying tribute to Cher before the legend herself joined her on stage.
Zendaya, who helped induct the icon, summed it up best – Cher’s name is as legendary as her legacy.
The ceremony was a nonstop concert with tributes and performances by and for the 2024 class.
Foreigner performed alongside Demi Lovato and Kelly Clarkson and Mary J. Blige took the stage to belt out hit after hit.
The late Jimmy Buffet was honored when James Taylor and Kenny Chesney performed a sweet rendition of his song “Come Monday.”
Also recognized for their life’s work were Osbourne, Frampton and Warwick – who finally got her due after five nominations.
And Kool and the Gang gave a celebration to last throughout the years.
The head of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame emphasized that each of these musicians has had a profound impact on a particular era and has contributed to creating unique and unforgettable experiences that will stand the test of time.
And now, for many, they are getting the recognition they deserve.
If you missed any of the induction ceremony, the entire special is streaming now on Hulu.
