Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Maybe he should have just served.

In 1983, Sesame Street faced a heartbreaking question: how do you explain the death of a beloved friend?
When actor Will Lee, who played Mr. Hooper, passed away, Sesame Street chose honesty. This special episode helped generations of children and families understand and talk about grief with empathy and honesty.
42 years later, we look back at this moment and are reminded that even when someone we love is gone, the memories and love we shared remain. 💛

We will never see anything like this again in our lifetimes.
If you have a few minutes, watch it. Probably the greatest music video ever made.

Hard to believe it’s been 59 years since The Monkees first aired on September 12, 1966. We were just four kids with guitars and energy, and the world watched us. Grateful for the memories and your support in keeping our spirit alive. Here’s to more!
