Dolly Parton, beloved by many, recently announced that, at 77 years old, she is unlikely to embark on any extensive tours in the future.
She mentioned that while she still plans to perform live occasionally for special occasions or weekend festivals, it no longer seems practical for her to be away from home and her spouse for extended periods. The Country Queen explained that such prolonged absences would not only be distressing if someone at home needed her, but would also be unfair to fans expecting her full presence at events. Consequently, Parton intends to remain close to her loved ones while continuing to create music and entertain through other avenues.
