The country singer, who was among 17 genre-spanning nominees this year, said, “I don't feel that I have earned that right” and asked to be removed.

Parton was inducted into the Country Hall of Fame in 1999. Other artists have balked at inclusion in the club before: John Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, thumbed his nose at the band’s induction in 2006, with the band opting not to show. In her statement, however, Parton left the door open. The Rock Hall did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.” “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,” Parton, 76, wrote in a statement posted to social media.
