Never say never. In December, before she was announced as one of this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Cher had a few options for the Cleveland-based museum that, at that point, didn't merit her induction despite her record. No. 1 hits for seven decades.
To put it mildly, the 77-year-old pop wonder told Kelly Clarkson that she didn't care, even if the RRHOF “gave me a million dollars… I'm never going to change my mind. They can just find out for themselves.”
Well, now that he's set to be inducted into the HOF alongside Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool & the Gang, the Dave Matthews Band and Peter Frampton on October 19th in Cleveland, you better believe he's he had a change of heart.
According ETwhile walking the red carpet at the Paley Center in LA for the premiere of the documentary Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion — for the fashion designer who has made so many of the singer's glitter-dripping outfits over the years — Cher said she was grateful for the pending introduction.
She thanked longtime friend and sometime fan, former music executive David Geffen and RRHOF Foundation chairman John Sykes, for the honor and, in her own inimitable way, warned that she won't be going down quietly on that very good night.
“I'll have a few words to say,” Cher promised. “I'll take it as me.”
Cher's first No. 1 hit was 1965's “I Got You Babe” with her late partner Sonny Bono, and she has been inducted into the Hall of Fame since 1991.
