Parton has also previously turned down a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the Trump administration and has also expressed that she isn’t likely to accept one from the Biden government.

Parton has been inducted into several music halls of fame, such as the 1999 Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2001, she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Her three songs mentioned above were also featured in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Among those on the list for the Rock Hall are Eminem, Beck, A Tribe Called Quest, Carly Simon, and Duran Duran. Inductees will be announced in May, and on April 29, fans can vote for their choice through the Rock Hall website.

Dolly Parton’s full statement can be found below:

“Dolly here! Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.

I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again – if I’m ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock’n’roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock’n’roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one. I wish all of the nominees good luck and thank you again for the compliment. Good luck!”
