Dolly Parton “honoured” to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, despite trying to have her name taken off the ballot
Dolly Parton has said that she is “honoured and humbled” to be included among this year’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, despite asking to be taken out of the running earlier this year.The country music star will be inducted into the music museum alongside Eminem, Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics, Carly Simon, Judas Priest and Pat Benatar later this year.In March, she said in a statement that while she was “extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated” to be among this year’s inductees, she didn’t feel that she had “earned that right” and would therefore like to be removed from the list of nominees.The Hall responded by explaining why it felt that Parton had very much earned the right to be considered, and added that, as voting by then was well underway, it would not be removing her name from the ballot.Parton has since said that she respects the decision to keep her in the running, and speaking to Billboard after her induction was announced, she said: “I feel honoured that all the people that voted for me did. And I appreciate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame people for staying there with me”.“I never meant to cause trouble or stir up any controversy”, she went on.
