It sounds like Cher is changing her tune about being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The singer, who previously vowed she “wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars,” told Entertainment Tonight that she will be accepting the honor, after all.


Cher has made no secret about her feelings toward the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Back in 2010, the "Believe" singer told Vanity Fair that it “seems kind of rude” she and her ex-husband, the late Sonny Bono, had yet to be inducted given the impact the duo made on the genre.

She especially hated it for Bono.

“I have so much of everything that I want that those things don’t usually bother me."
“It bothers me a little bit more because Sonny was a good writer, and we started something that no one else was doing.”
“We were weird hippies before there was a name for it, when the Beatles were wearing sweet little haircuts and round-collared suits...We influenced a generation, and it’s like: What more do you want?”

And as recently as December, the singer seemed to stand firm on the subject.

During her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher once again scoffed at the idea of being inducted.

After Clarkson commended Cher for being the first female solo artist to have a No. 1 hit on the Billboard chart in each of the last seven decades with “DJ Play a Christmas Song," Cher reminded the host she was still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Not only that, but she swore she wouldn't accept even "if they gave me a million dollars,” adding:

“I’m never going to change my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves."

But last month, it was announced that Cher would be inducted into the 2024 class—which also includes Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang and A Tribe Called Quest—and the singer promised she'd be there...with "some words," of course.

She joked:

"I can thank David Geffen, my friend and most wonderful person ever, and John Sikes."
“I’m going to have some words to say."
“I’m going to accept it as me.”

You can watch below.

People on social media agreed Cher belongs in the hall of fame and congratulated the singer on her accomplishment.






And many shared their excitement over Cher and the rest of the 2024 inductees.




The induction ceremony is set to take place Oct. 19 in Cleveland.

Congrats to the 2024 inductees!

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
