According to Future Rock Legends, "the definitive resource for everything about the @RockHall", a month after asking to be removed from the ballot for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Dolly Parton now says if she is inducted, she will “accept gracefully.”

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame previously rejected Parton's request to pull her name from the ballot for nomination. Dolly had issued the request, saying in part, "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."

And now, in an interview with NPR’s Morning Edition, Dolly says she will receive the honour if voted in. “I’ll accept gracefully,” she said. “I’ll say ‘thanks’ and accept that.”
