The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony took place in Cleveland, featuring tributes to Cher by Dua Lipa and Zendaya, highlighting a connection across generations. This year's class included 16 inductees, such as Cher, Mary J. Blige, and posthumously honored artists like Jimmy Buffett and members of Kool & the Gang, reflecting a bittersweet tone due to the loss of many honorees. The event, expected to generate $50 million for the local economy, marked the first induction ceremony in Cleveland since 2021 and took place at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, where attendance doubled. The ceremony also acknowledged significant snubs in the Hall's history, emphasizing the ongoing debate about which artists deserve recognition. Celebrities like Dr. Dre and Demi Lovato participated in the festivities, which will be available for streaming on Disney+ and featured on ABC in January.
