Dolly Parton's request that she not be considered a nominee for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has essentially been denied, albeit graciously, by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.The foundation released a statement Thursday on its social media platforms and explained that the «Jolene» singer will remain on the ballot for a number of reasons, from logistical to the fact she's most certainly earned her place in Rock & Roll lore.«Dolly’s nomination, along with the other 16 for the class of 2022, was sent out earlier this month to our 1,200 general ballot voters, the majority of whom are artists themselves, for consideration for induction at our ceremony,» read the statement.The legendary country singer said in a statement earlier this week that she was flattered by the nomination but that she hadn't «earned that right.» She respectfully bowed out, as she did «not want votes to be split» because of her.

Parton also said she hopes the foundation is willing to consider her again in the future «if I'm ever worthy» and that the nomination had inspired her to put out «hopefully a great rock 'n' roll album at some point in the future.».
