2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees: A Look at the Stars from Cher to Dave Matthews | Hollywood News

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has unveiled its list of 16 inductees for 2024, showcasing a diverse mix of musical legends spanning various genres and eras. Among the notable names included in this year’s lineup are Big Mama Thornton, Cher, Dionne Warwick, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, and A Tribe Called Quest.

The announcement of the inductees was made during an “American Idol” broadcast, adding to the excitement surrounding the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions. This year’s list of inductees also includes Jimmy Buffett, who was honored posthumously in a special category for “musical excellence.” The inclusion of Buffett, who had never been nominated before, was influenced by his recent passing.

The “musical excellence” category also welcomed Warwick and MC5, recognizing their influential contributions to the music industry. Additionally, five out of the eight artists voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year were first-time nominees, including Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, and Kool & the Gang.

Peter Frampton’s induction holds a sentimental note, as he recently concluded his farewell tour due to health reasons. Diagnosed with inclusion body myositis in 2015, Frampton’s future touring plans remain uncertain. Overall, the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees represent a diverse and talented group of artists who have made significant contributions to the world of music.
