A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

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.

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.

On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.

Moments like this remind us why music matters.

During a meet & greet, a young fan walked up to Ozzy Osbourne with tears in her eyes and said:

“I just wanna tell you, because I may never see you again… you are my favorite musician in the world.”

Ozzy could’ve just smiled and moved on.
Instead, he stopped, listened, and gave her a hug.

For her, it was everything.
For him, it was a reminder of how deeply his music has touched people.

It doesn’t matter how famous you are, a genuine fan’s words can hit harder than any award.

35 years without the legendary guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.

He tragically left us back at the age of 35, a victim of a helicopter crash.

Here is Stevie performing “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” live at Austin City Limits, 1989.

Pope Francis, the 266th Catholic Church leader who tried to position the church to be more inclusive, has died. He was 88.

“His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church," Cardinal Kevin Farrell said in a statement. "He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with faithfulness, courage, and universal love, especially for the poorest and most marginalized." https://t.co/BocqPHFtJh

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

It is with great sadness that Jill and I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was unlike any who came before him. Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most consequential leaders of our time and I am better for having known him. For decades, he served the most vulnerable across Argentina and his mission of serving the poor never ceased. As Pope, he was a loving pastor and challenging teacher who reached out to different faiths. He commanded us to fight for peace and protect our planet from a climate crisis. He advocated for the voiceless and powerless. He made all feel welcome and seen by the Church. He promoted equity and an end to poverty and suffering across the globe. And above all, he was a Pope for everyone. He was the People's Pope - a light of faith, hope, and love.

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

- Pope Francis
