Despite having numerous No. 1 hits, Cher was denied her place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and now she does not want it. Read along to know the reason.
American actress and singer Cher’s recent appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show has been quite interesting. The legend slammed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for excluding her over several decades.
She good-naturedly pointed out that despite having No. 1 Billboard hits over seven decades. Kelly and her whole audience were flabbergasted when Cher said that now she did not want to be part of this club that clearly did not want her.
Cher’s most recent holiday single DJ Play a Christmas Song charted No. 1 in Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart.
The song is the most celebrated single from her first-ever holiday special album, Christmas. The pop diva was praised by Clarkson as she pointed out that she is the only singer who has had top charting songs across seven decades, starting from the 1960s to the 2020s.
Cher then corrected the host, saying she is not the only one as the legendary band Rolling Stones has also achieved the same milestone; however, she is the only solo artist to do so.
In 2023, Willie Nelson, Missy Elliot, Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, George Micheal, The Spinners, and Rage Against the Machines were all inducted into the prestigious list, but Cher’s name was nowhere to be seen.
The singer’s rightful exasperation about this showed clearly in her comments.
