Dolly Parton, Eminem and Duran Duran join Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Dolly Parton has been voted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, despite previously asking to "respectfully bow out" of contention for the honour.

The singer said in March that she was "extremely flattered" to be nominated, but felt she had not "earned the right" to be counted as a rock artist.

However, she was too late because the ballots had already gone out.

As a result, the star will be inducted in November alongside Eminem, Carly Simon, Eurythmics and Duran Duran.

Other new entrants include soul legend Lionel Richie.
