The last vocal @DollyParton ever recorded is out now.
"Torn," her duet with @U2, closes "Carnaval De Luz," released today. It's the band's first album of new material in nine years.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bono said:
"Dolly Parton is a mythical figure who actually existed recently. And our hearts are broken by this, but we are also blessed to be given her last vocal."
It started as a song Dolly wrote and never finished. U2 and Johnny McDaid built it out with her, and she sang it in Nashville in June, two months before she passed at 80.
The heart of it is one line: "Nothing hurts a mother more than a family at war."
Bono added: "We are all, especially 'Mericans, you are the children of Dolly Parton. And it is her prayer that you reach across the table and find common purpose."
Country radio heard it first. Kent Wells, her longtime producer, produced her vocal on "Torn" (Kent Wells Version), and it premiered there Nov. 12.
Her last vocal was a mother's plea for a family torn apart.
Dame Edna looked Jonathan Ross dead in the eye and said calling her a celebrity is almost an insult.
“I’ve never been a celebrity. I’m a legend, an icon if you will. But not a celebrity.”
Then she kept going. She was depressed, eating pasta in bed, gnocchi five times a night, so she went to an ashram in India. Met a young guy named Wahan (which is just Balinese for Wayne). He gave her massages. “I can feel his little fingers.” She smiled and said, “I’m a bit of a cougar.”
Ross didn’t know what to do with himself.
