Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inducts Class of 2024

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame officially inducted its class of 2024 last night with a live show on Disney Plus that lasted more than five hours.

Our George Penacchio was backstage the whole time and has this report from Cleveland.

If I could turn back time.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame kicked off the evening with a celebration of Cher. She gave her only red carpet interview to us.

I mean, look, rock and roll is, it is so inclusive. It is just inclusive. I mean, look, do I look like I should belong here now? But I am still working and I am still happy and I am still here.

Dua Lipa was honored to share the stage with the music icon.

The trajectory of her career has been so inspiring and it is wonderful to have role models like that for artists like me.

Peter Frampton thought this day honoring him would never come.

It is overwhelming, because I had kind of crossed it off the list. I thought, wow, I am in my 70s now. They are not going to get me in now. But wow, they did.

I do not believe where I have been.

Come on Cleveland.

Keith Urban joined his longtime friend for one of the night’s many collaborations.

It is what you feel with Pete. I mean, he says, Do you feel what I feel? I am, like, yeah, we feel what you feel, Pete.

The audience definitely felt the presence of honoree Ozzy Osborne, who kicked off a star-studded performance of his hit Crazy Train.

All aboard.

There were performances celebrating honorees Kool and the Gang and Dave Matthews Band. Also honored A Tribe Called Quest, Jimmy Buffett, and Foreigner.

I want you to show me.

I think if you had have asked us back in the late ’70s when the band was formed, if we would be still relevant today, I do not think any of us would have believed it.

They wrote some of the greatest rock songs ever. They are up there with anybody.

Jennifer Hudson helped salute inductee Dionne Warwick.

She is such an original. She set the tone. She raised the bar. Without her, artists, like myself, would not be here today.

I think it is wonderful that my art has been recognized finally, and they think I am worthy of it.

And you say finally.

Well, after 62 years, I think it is about time, is it not?

We just want you all to have a good time. No more drama in your life.

And the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige brought down the house for her fans.

Thank you all for helping me the way you say I have helped you to heal, to get through hard times. I love you and thank you.
