A key point of interest now is Cher’s response to her induction. In a candid interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show last December, Cher expressed strong disinterest in joining the Hall of Fame, stating, “You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars … I’m never going to change my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves.” At that time, she had not yet been nominated. However, now that she has been inducted on her first appearance on the ballot, it remains to be seen whether she will reconsider her previous stance.

Peter Frampton’s induction into the Hall of Fame this year goes beyond his achievement of having one of the all-time greatest albums. His nomination likely holds sentimental value, as he is in the later stages of his musical career. Frampton has been on an intermittent farewell tour since 2019 after being diagnosed with the debilitating disease, inclusion body myositis, in 2015. He recently concluded the latest series of scheduled tour dates, although he has not definitively stated that these will be his last.
