In a social media statement Monday, the icon asked the Hall to withdraw her name from the 2022 ballot, saying "I don't feel that I have earned the right."
"I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out," she said in the statement. "I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again - if I'm ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock 'n' roll record at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do.”
