Cher, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dave Matthews Band Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024

Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, and Kool & The Gang round out the performer inductees, with Jimmy Buffett, Big Mama Thornton, MC5, and others receiving special honors

This year’s Musical Influence Award goes to Alexis Korner, John Mayall, and Big Mama Thornton, while Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick, and Norman Whitfield will receive the Musical Excellence Award. (Interestingly, Buffett was not on the ballot this year, nor has the late singer-songwriter ever been nominated in previous editions.) Additionally, Suzanne de Passe, one of the first leading female executives in the music business and a figure in the Motown scene, will get the Ahmet Ertegun Award. The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will air as a special on ABC at a later date and stream on Hulu the day afterwards.
