At 77 years old, Dolly Parton, the beloved Queen of Country, has recently revealed that extensive touring is no longer in her future. While she still intends to grace special events and festivals with her live performances on weekends, she prefers to stay close to home and her spouse for extended periods.
Parton acknowledges that being away for long periods would not only be difficult if someone at home needed her, but it would also be unfair to her dedicated fans who want to experience her entire show. Instead, she plans to remain near her friends and family while continuing to make music and entertain in other ways.
But even with her decision to cut back on touring, Parton’s star power continues to rise. She has recently released a new album, “Run, Rose, Run,” and co-written a novel of the same name. On top of that, she has ventured into new territories, such as developing her line of dog toys and producing movies.
The success of her book has even paved the way for a film contract, in which Parton will not only star but also bring her musical talents to the screen. And she’s not stopping there – Parton is already excited about her next endeavor: a rock record. Her nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has inspired her to delve into a new genre, showcasing her distinct style and versatility.
In the film, Annie Lee, a teenage musician with a troubled past, takes center stage. Throughout her journey, she crosses paths with Ruthanna, who becomes her mentor and guide. Ruthanna plays a pivotal role in helping Annie Lee pursue her dreams while leaving behind a challenging history.
Parton’s fans are eagerly anticipating this upcoming rock album, as it promises to introduce exciting new tones to the genre. With her unwavering passion and boundless creativity, Dolly Parton continues to captivate audiences of all ages and reminds us that it’s never too late to embark on new adventures.
