Today we mourn Tim Curry—a singular talent, a true original, and the man who first brought Dr. Frank-N-Furter to life. He didn’t just play an icon; he created one. Thank you, Tim, for the brilliance, courage, inspiration, and everything that followed. You will never be forgotten.
Tim Curry, the actor best known for playing the “sweet transvestite” Dr. Frank-N-Furter in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Stephen King’s murderous clown Pennywise in “It,” has died. 🕊️
Dolly was pure light sent from heaven. My mentor is gone. My songwriting teacher and hero of grace and humility. There is a hole in my heart but the joy of just the thought of her smile will continue to fill me with inspiration for as long as I live. I will cherish this moment performing Coat Of Many Colors with Dolly forever. Goodbye Dolly. Rest in peace, beautiful angel.
TIME’s new cover: Dolly Parton, the beloved country-music superstar, died in Nashville at 80.

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.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we say goodbye to a true country music icon, Opry member Dolly Parton.
There is no doubt Dolly’s mark on the world, and on us here at the Grand Ole Opry, will be deeply felt for generations to come. She taught us to always lead with kindness, generosity, and compassion. May her legacy live on through her songs, the lives she touched, and the countless artists she inspired. There will never, ever be another one like her.
We will always love you, Dolly. 🤍
