Dua Lipa and Cher Kick Off 2024 Rock Hall With ‘Believe’ Performance

Dua Lipa kicked off the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in Cleveland on Saturday to perform “Believe” alongside living legend Cher, who was inducted tonight.

Clad in a sleek, black leather dress, Lipa sang the iconic 1998 track, with Cher soon joining in a matching look. The pair joined hands as the duo sang the beloved chorus: “Do you believe in life after love?/I can feel something inside me say/I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no.”

It was a moment even Cher may not have expected even a year ago, with the legendary singer telling Kelly Clarkson that the Hall of Fame “can just go you-know-what themselves” in 2023. “You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars,” she said at the time. “I’m never going to change my mind.”

It’s been a jam-packed week for Cher, who performed at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earlier this week. The pop star headlined the show, and she performed a medley of “Strong Enough” and “Believe,” transforming the runway into a disco dance floor as the likes of Gigi and Bella Hadid walked the catwalk and sang along to her songs.

The singer’s induction on Saturday follows the release of her greatest hits compilation Forever in September. Cher will chronicle her storied career in her self-titled memoir, which will be released next month and split into two volumes, with Part One.

After Zendaya inducted Cher into the Rock Hall, the singer celebrated the moment by singing “If I Could Turn Back Time” from her 19th studio album Heart of Stone. The night echoed her 2017 performances at the Billboard Music Awards when she delivered both “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time” to the stage. Her set at the time preceded her acceptance of the prestigious Icon Award.
