This years Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees are killer, the late great Sinéad O’Connor, Cher, and Sade join Mariah Carey, and Mary J. Blige
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees have been unveiled, featuring an impressive lineup including the late great Sinéad O’Connor, Cher, and Sade.
Cher’s inclusion might raise eyebrows, considering her candid remarks last year stating she wouldn’t be part of the Hall of Fame even if they paid her a million dollars.
Sharing her thoughts via an interview late last year: “I’m not kidding you. I was about to say something else. I was about to say s——- you! You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars”
Nevertheless, whether she accepts the nod or not, her name joins an illustrious list of iconic female figures in the industry.
