After weeks of radio silence, music legend Bob Dylan, the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in over 20 years, has decided to accept the honor.
Dylan spends much of his time on the road, including recent gigs at the Desert Trip festival in Indio, Calif., but is relatively elusive when it comes to interviews. Since the Oct. 13 announcement, Dylan has been silent about his selection by the Nobel committee, leading many to believe that he would ignore the award indefinitely.
But that all changed Friday.
Speaking with the Telegraph, the '60s icon revealed he plans to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10. When asked if he'll make the trip, the singer responded with the somewhat cryptic, "Absolutely. If it's at all possible."
"It's hard to believe," Dylan added. "Whoever dreams about something like that?"
