Cher Has Warning For Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame After Confirming She'll Accept Induction

The singer told 'Entertainment Tonight' that she'd be accepting her induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after previously saying she wouldn't be in it 'if they gave me a million dollars.'

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!

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Trump Just Responded To Top Counterterrorism Official's Damning Resignation Letter In Peak Trump Fashion

President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over the war in Iran, saying the country "posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
