Heartbroken to hear Dolly Parton has died 💔
Dolly brought a lot of life and light to the world with her music and personality.
It was a real privilege to have the opportunity to interview Dolly and talk about her trips to Ireland. She was an icon and had a great sense of humour and fun. I spent years writing about her music and announcing album releases too while working as a journalist, such as her Christmas album - even some exclusives!
One of my earliest introductions to Dolly was listening to Louise learning the words and performing 9 to 5 as a child. 🎤
Coat of Many Colours will always be a favourite song of mine to sing, a Jive Tribe favourite too 🥰
Dolly’s music touched generations and her legacy will live on. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dolly’s loved ones. Thank you for the music. Dolly, the world will always love you!
Rest in peace ❤️
Dolly Parton
