Cher, Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne and others were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Cher, Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne and others were officially accepted into rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Some of music's biggest stars – including Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Keith Urban and Dionne Warwick, among others – gathered at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio for an unforgettable celebration.

The evening began with Dua Lipa performing Cher's hit “Believe,” which turned into a duet when Cher joined her toward the end. Later, Cher took the stage alone and performed “If I Could Turn Back Time.”

As the evening progressed, Zendaya, who gave Cher's introductory speech, paid tribute to her iconic fashion style with a barely-there nude outfit that was reminiscent of Cher's Bob Mackie looks.

In her speech, Zendaya described Cher as “so iconic that she only needs a name” and noted, “It is impossible to measure the impact Cher has had and continues to have on each of us.”

Cher has been eligible for the Hall of Fame since 1990 and joked in her speech about how long it took to get inducted.

“It was easier to divorce two men than to get into rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” she said.

She then praised her mother for her persistence and the fact that she is still here making music.

“My life has just been a rollercoaster ride, and the thing I've never done is never give up,” Cher said.

That evening was also Osbourne's second induction into the rock hall, having previously joined the band with Black Sabbath in 2006. Jack Black did the honors and Osbourne, who has battled various health problems in recent years, took the stage on a giant throne decorated with demons.

Although the Prince of Darkness didn't perform, he did shout the iconic “All aboard!” as the opening act for his song “Crazy Train,” which was then sung by Tool's Maynard James Keenan, supported by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo and producer Andrew Watt as well as a guitar solo by Wolfgang Van Halen.

Smith, Trujillo and Watt were then joined by Jelly Roll and Ozzy's longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde for “Mama, I'm Coming Home” and Billy Idol for “No More Tears.”

Blige was also one of the evening's new additions.

After an introduction by long-time collaborators Dr. Dre and Method Man, Blige took the stage to perform a medley of her hits with help from The Roots, Lucky Daye and Ella Mai.

She began her speech by thanking God and mentioned a few more before moving on to Method Man and Dr. Dre thanked them for helping her win her first Grammy or Emmy.

“To my fans: You have all endured blood, sweat and tears with me and helped me heal,” she said. “Exactly what you said. I hope you get healed. None of this would happen if you hadn’t supported us, shared us, cheered us on, and without your unwavering love and loyalty.”

She offered advice to “be careful around others” and reminded aspiring talent that “faith without works is dead.”

Blige's performance at the ceremony was preceded by Chuck D's introduction of Kool & The gang that performed their hits and cheered on their late founding members.

Next to Cher, Blige, Osbourne and Kool & The gang, the rock & The Roll Hall of Fame also honored Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton and A Tribe Called Quest with inductions into the prestigious artist category.

The Dave Matthews Band was founded by Julia Roberts, who appeared in the band's video for the song “Dreamgirl.” They performed their songs “Ants Marching,” “Crash into Me,” “So Much to Say,” and “Too Much.”

Saturday's festivities also included Clarkson and Lovato, both of whom helped welcome Foreigner to rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Foreigner was recorded by former Valen Halen singer Sammy Hagar.

Guns N' Roses shredder Slash and Chad Smith joined members of Foreigner's current touring incarnation, while Lovato, Hagar and Clarkson performed “Feels Like the First Time,” “Hot Blooded” and “I Want to,” respectively “Know What Love Is” sang, the last of which also featured original singer Lou Gramm.

Warwick and the late Jimmy Buffett were both inducted into the Musical Excellence category, with Teyana Taylor and James Taylor giving induction speeches, respectively. James Taylor also performed Buffett's classic “Come Monday” with Kenny Chesney and Mac McAnally.

Alexis Korner, Big Mama Thornton and John Mayall received the Musical Influencer Award, honoring artists whose music has profoundly shaped and developed rock 'n' roll and left a lasting impact on youth culture.

Meanwhile, television, music and film producer Suzanne de Passe received the Ahmet Ertegun Award, a recognition for “underachieving industry professionals who have had a major impact on the creative development and growth of rock.” & Roll music that influenced youth culture,” a press release said.
