It might have been a lengthy ceremony - there were more than five hours of it, in fact - but you certainly couldn’t accuse the 2024 Rock & Roll Induction event of taking too long to get going. Right out of the gate, there was significant star power, with Dua Lipa being joined by Cher to sing Believe, the latter’s groundbreaking 1998 hit.
Cher was in the building to get what some might say is a long overdue induction, a fact not lost on her when she joked that “It was easier getting divorced from two men than it was to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.” She was introduced by Zendaya, who praised Cher for her long list of incredible achievements and called her “the coolest woman on the planet”.
