Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun also has an award in his name which will be given to television and music producer Suzanne de Passe.
Last year, Cher and Foreignerblastedthe Rock Hall for not being inducted in the past, although both have since come around in 2024. In a December 2023 episode ofThe Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher said, “They can just go you-know-what themselves.” In April 2023, Foreigner took a similarly humorous approach with a fakepostannouncing their induction.

“In an unprecedented move, the entire board of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame met especially to nominate Foreigner,” the post read. “I believe that the entire board realized that Foreigner had as many hits asFleetwood Mac, just one less than the Eagles, and more than Journey and many other Hall Of Fame alumni.”
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on Oct. 19 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT and will stream via Disney+ immediately following the broadcasting.
