The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is set to induct its latest class of musical artists who, once again, have been influential for decades in multiple genres beyond the institution’s namesake.
From rock acts like Ozzy Osbourne, to pop stars like Cher, to hip-hop icons like Mary J. Blige, this year’s inductees “represent the power of musical creativity and the ability to shape the sound and style of popular music,” the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said in a statement.
