Cher was one of the inductees at last night’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and Dua Lipa came along for the ride. Below and on Instagram, watch them do “Believe” together, joined by the Roots, along with Cher’s induction speech—introduced by Zendaya—and performance of “If I Could Turn Back Time.”“Where do I even begin?” Zendaya started her speech. “There is not one person in this room, in this country and pretty much in the whole world who doesn’t know who I’m here to honor tonight. So iconic, she only needs one name.… She does it all and, may I add, really fucking well.”In her own speech, Cher joked about her overdue induction, having said last year that she would refuse the honor were it offered. “It was easier getting divorced from two men than it was to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” she said last night. “I want to thank my guardian David Geffen, because yeah, he wrote a letter and sent it to the directors and so… ha ha, here I am.” She later added, “The one thing I have never done, is I never give up,” she explained. “And I am talking to the women, OK… we have been down and out, but we keep striving, and we keep going and we are somebody. We are special.”Cher came to prominence in 1965, as half of the folk-rock duo Sonny and Cher with then-husband Sonny Bono, and soon released the solo singles “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” and “You Better Sit Down Kids.” The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which ran for three seasons between 1971 and 1974, made Cher a television personality, too. She and Bono had one child together—Chaz, in 1969—and divorced in 1975.In the 1970s, Cher scored three number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100—“Gypsys, Tramps, and Thieves,” “Half-Breed,” and “Dark Lady”—becoming the female solo artist with the most No. 1 singles in U.S. history. She pivoted to disco with 1979’s Take Me Home, then to acting in the mid-1980s, winning an Academy Award for her leading role opposite Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck.
