In the performer category, this year’s inductees are Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest.
Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick and Norman Whitfield were selected as the recipients for the Musical Excellence Award.
The announcement was made Sunday during the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night” episode on “American Idol.”
The inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were selected among nominees announced earlier this year, and have “created music whose originality, impact, and influence has changed the course of rock & roll,” according to the organization.
Nominees this year included Sinéad O’Connor, Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey.
To be eligible for nomination for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will happen live on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
The 2024 ceremony will once again stream live on Disney+ and will be available on Hulu the following day.
