Dolly Parton died today, August 25, 2026, in Nashville at 80. Her nephew Bryan Seaver announced it; no official cause has been released. She had been open about health struggles after Carl Dean’s death in March 2025
In this clip she talked about being ill. She said she was like an old classic car. They raised the hood and found the engine needed rebuilding, the transmission slipping, the spark plugs due for a change, “because you know as well as I know that I can’t lose my spark.” Classic Dolly. She never did lose her spark!
Born in a two-room cabin in the Smokies, fourth of twelve, she turned poverty into “Coat of Many Colors,” heartbreak into “Jolene,” and a working woman’s grit into “9 to 5.”
She wrote thousands of songs, sold more than a hundred million records, built Dollywood, and put books into the hands of children who might never have owned one.
We didn’t know how sick she was. She kept the jokes coming anyway, kidney stones and the Rockwood quarry, plastic surgeons and hubcaps, a happy heart as good medicine.
She said she would always love her fans.
Rest easy, Dolly. ✝️🙏💖🕊️
