Cher leads the highlights of 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony: 'It was easier getting divorced from two men than it was to get inducted'

A bloated evening of duets and doppelgängers.

Despite the bloated runtime, the Rock Hall has historically shown a penchant for pageantry and locks in unbelievable guests; this year’s induction segments included Dave Chappelle honoring A Tribe Called Quest and Jack Black paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Osbourne opted out of performing — recent health issues have made it difficult to do so — choosing instead to watch from his throne as an Addams Family-style group of artists (including Billy Idol, Zakk Wylde, Maynard James Keenan, and Jelly Roll) saluted him. Robert “Kool” Bell and James “JT” Taylor lead an impeccably groovy medley of “Hollywood Swinging,” “Get Down On It,” “Ladies Night,” “Jungle Boogie,” and “Celebration.” It seemed like a wasted opportunity not to end the ceremony with such a confetti high.
