But the simple online acknowledgement seemed as if he were changing his tune about accepting the honor. Speculation swirled Friday when mention of the Nobel Prize was scrubbed from the musician's website, where the phrase "winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature" had previously been added to the page promoting a book of his lyrics. Add to that, NBC News reports the Swedish Academy told local media its board has given up trying to confirm whether he'll even attend a Stockholm banquet honoring him and other Nobel winners in December. Dylan, 75, is known for shying from awards recognition and has yet to publicly acknowledge the prestigious win.
– Bob Dylan acknowledged his Nobel Prize win—but only momentarily. The musician has been oddly quiet about winning the literature prize, but a fan noticed that his official website added a line to this page that said "Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature." But by Friday morning, the reference had been removed from the site, NBC News reports. Per USA Today, the Nobel board has given up attempting to confirm whether Dylan plans to attend the December ceremony at which he would theoretically accept his award.
