Dolly Parton is still eligible to be inducted into this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, despite the country legend asking to have her nomination withdrawn.Earlier this week, Parton asked to be taken out of consideration for this year’s Hall of Fame. The singer was announced as one of the Rock Hall’s nominees for its Class of 2022 alongside the likes of Eminem, Kate Bush, Beck, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Rage Against The Machine, A Tribe Called Quest and more.At the time, Parton explained that while she was “extremely flattered” to be nominated, she felt that she hadn’t “earned that right” and did not want votes split as a result of her inclusion.“I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again – if I’m ever worthy,” she added.

So with voting well underway, it complicated matters for Parton to simply bow out on Monday, despite her believing that she had not “earned that right.”“Dolly’s recommendation, along with the other 16 nominees 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,” the foundation said.Still, RRHOF applauded Parton for making such a magnanimous move.“All of us in the music community have seen Dolly Parton’s thoughtful note expressing her feeling that she has not earned the right to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” the statement said.
