Country music icon Dolly Parton will be among a handful of artists including Eminem, Lionel Ritchie, Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, Eurythmics, and Carly Simon to be inducted into the 2022 Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame later this year. “This diverse group of inductees each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock ‘n roll,” chairman John Sykes said. Confused about Parton’s inclusion after saying in March that she was pulling out of contention because she hadn’t “earned the right” as a non-rock artist? The organisers kept her 50-year-plus contribution to music under review. Last week, Parton backtracked, saying she now understands there’s more to the honour than being a rock ‘n roll star and would “accept gracefully” if chosen. Whatever’s happened, she and the others are all megastars.
