Why did Dolly Parton not want Hall of Fame? Why does Dolly Parton want to be removed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Dolly Parton is surprisingly rejecting her honor or indictment into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which happened on April 4th, 2022.
According to the celebrated singer, she doesn’t feel measures up to deserve the inductment. She feels others who really worked hard deserve it but not her.

“I feel honored that all the people that voted for me did. And I appreciate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame people for staying there with me,”

“It was just always my belief — and I think millions of other people out there too — always thought the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was just set up for the greatest people in the rock ‘n’ roll business, and I just didn’t feel like I really measured up to that and I don’t want to take anything away from the people that have worked so hard.”- she said.

Early in March this year, Dolly Parton asked for her name to be withdrawn from the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because she believes she didn’t earn it right.

Dolly Parton is now accepting it gracefully.
