The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced on Thursday they will keep singer Dolly Parton on their 2022 nomination list, despite Parton's request to withdraw her name.
"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. In addition to her incredible talent as an artist, her humility is another reason Dolly is a beloved icon by millions of fans around the world," a statement from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, posted to its official Twitter account, said.
" The statement added that Parton's nomination to be considered for induction"followed the same process as all other artists who have been considered," and her name was included in the ballots sent to its 1,200 voters earlier this month. Sixteen other artists are also nominated this year, including A Tribe Called Quest, Duran Duran and Lionel Richie.
