Despite previously asking the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to withdraw her nomination for possible entry, Dolly Parton is now saying she will “accept gracefully,” according to an interview she did on Friday (April 29th) on NPR’s Morning Edition.
Dolly’s change of heart comes after learning more about the requirements of being in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She said, “So I just felt like I would be taking away from someone that maybe deserved it, certainly more than me, because I never considered myself a rock artist, but obviously, there’s more to it than that.”
The class of 2022 inductees will be announced this month.
