(CNN)Bob Dylan apparently isn’t going to leave the Nobel Prize committee hanging.
The singer-songwriter, whose tunes have spoken to the socially conscious for more than five decades, told a reporter for The Telegraph newspaper of the United Kingdom that he probably will show up at the award ceremony in December.
“Absolutely,” he told The Telegraph. “If it’s at all possible.”
That’s good news for the Swedish Academy, which said it had given up on trying to contact him about collecting the prize.
CNN has reached out to reps for Dylan to confirm the Telegraph report, but didn’t get a response.
Dylan is on a US tour and spoke to the Telegraph while he was in Oklahoma.
Only two people have ever turned down the Nobel Prize — existentialist philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre (literature, 1964) and Vietnamese politician Le Duc Tho (Peace Prize, 1973).
Dylan, the first songwriter to win a Nobel Prize, penned the classics “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “The Times They Are a Changin’,” “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Mr. Tambourine Man.”
