Parton said Monday she was taking herself of the running for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 2022 class, saying she didn't feel she'd "earned that right."
In a statement shared to her social media accounts, the country chanteuse said that while she was "extremely flattered and grateful" for the nomination, she didn't feel she'd "earned that right."
"I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out," she said.
