Cher Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Cher, the iconic singer, was finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on October 19 in Cleveland, performing her hit 'Believe' with Dua Lipa before being introduced by Zendaya. During her acceptance speech, Cher humorously remarked that it was 'easier getting divorced from two men' than gaining entry into the Hall of Fame, reflecting on her long and challenging journey to this honor. She thanked her late mother, Georgia Holt, for instilling resilience in her, recalling the tough moments in her career when she faced significant setbacks, including being dropped by music labels. Cher expressed surprise at her enduring success, having had number one hits over seven decades. The ceremony celebrated her contributions to music and her ability to reinvent herself across genres, as highlighted by Zendaya. Cher’s induction comes after years of being eligible, having previously criticized the organization for snubbing her despite her vast accomplishments.
