As announced on American Idol<\/em> on April 21, this year’s inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are ageless diva Cher<\/strong>, R&B powerhouse Mary J. Blige<\/strong>, ’70s and ’80 rock hitmakers Foreigner<\/strong>, ’70s superstar guitarist Peter Frampton<\/strong>, jam band superstars Dave Matthews Band<\/strong>, R&B legends Kool & the Gang<\/strong>, metal icon Ozzy Osbourne<\/strong> and pioneering rap group A Tribe Called Quest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Frampton was front and center at last year’s induction ceremony, playing guitar with Sheryl Crow<\/strong> as she was inducted into the hall. Foreigner has been the focus of a social media campaign driven by Mark Ronson<\/strong>, in which big names like Paul McCartney<\/strong> and Foo Fighters<\/strong>‘ Dave Grohl<\/strong>\u00a0argued why the “I Want to Know What Love Is” band deserves to be inducted.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Cher declared on The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em><\/a> that she wouldn’t be in the Rock Hall now “if they gave me a million dollars” and insisted, “I’m never gonna change my mind.” We’ll see how that plays out at the induction ceremony in October.<\/p>\n

In addition, recipients of the Musical Excellence Award are the late Jimmy Buffett<\/strong>;\u00a0Dionne Warwick<\/strong>;\u00a0influential proto-punk rockers MC5<\/strong>; and the late songwriter\/producer Norman Whitfield<\/strong>, known for co-writing and producing timeless Motown classics like “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.”<\/p>\n

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction will stream live on Disney+ on October 19 from the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, and will be available on Hulu the next day. An ABC-TV special will air at a later date.<\/p>\n
