"And I'm not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!" she laughed about this on the show last Friday.

Cher is a prominent personality in the music industry with a decades-long career. During the interview, Cher, known for her distinctive voice and boundary-pushing performances, humorously remarked on the perceived oversight by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

"You know what, I wouldn't be in it now if they gave me a million dollars," she continued. "I'm not lying to you. I will never change my mind. They can basically do whatever they want."

The singer's career spans an impressive spectrum, encompassing not only music but also acting and activism. Her impact on pop culture is undeniable, making her exclusion from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a topic of fascination and debate.

"I was about to say 'sh*tting you!' 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."

On her career front, in late October, Cher launched her festive album Christmas, which includes tracks like "Home" with Michael Bublé and "Drop Top Sleigh Ride" with Tyga.

"DJ Play a Christmas Song," her new song is topping the billboards yet again as she repeats history in her legendary style. We await more updates on how long this song stays on the chartbusters, if the records of her previous albums are anything to go by, it can be assured she is not mincing words. She might take the honor, as she says, by giving it back through the records.
