The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has finally commented on Dolly Parton’s request to withdraw from this year’s list of nominations. The institution has declined the country star’s appeal, after she posted a statement to her social media accounts earlier this week maintaining that while she’s grateful to be included, she doesn’t feel that she’s necessarily “earned” the right to be on the list.
“I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out,” Parton said in the statement. “I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again – if I’m ever worthy.”
However, yesterday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said that Parton will remain on the ballot as this year’s voting process is already in progress.
