Cher doesn’t want to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “I wouldn’t be there now even for a million dollars,” said the singer on Friday during her visit to the “Kelly Clarkson Show.”
“I’m not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” said the 77-year-old. She seems to be annoyed by a lack of offerings in the past – after all, she has had at least one number one single in each of the past seven decades. Apart from her, only the Rolling Stones managed to do that, according to Cher. She continued, “It takes four of them to be like me.” The singer can do without the “Hall of Fame” today. “I’ll never change my mind,” she told Kelly Clarkson.
It’s not the first time this year that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been publicly criticized. Singer Courtney Love accused the institution of engaging in “sexist gatekeeping” in an opinion article in the British Guardian. Earlier this year, she wrote about how, according to calculations, only about 8.5 percent of artists inducted are female.
