Beyoncé pays tribute to the late Dolly Parton:
“Dolly, you were the barometer. The North Star. Bold and brilliant. Talented and tenacious. You taught so many lessons on how to be uniquely oneself. I am grateful for your art, your heart, your generosity, your humor, your entrepreneurship. I'm honored that I had the privilege to work with you. I will treasure that forever. Thank you for your profound impact on the world. You are an angel who has made this
world a happier place because of your joyful art. You are truly one of one. Rest peacefully.”
Dolly Parton was one of the first public figures fundraising and fighting for people living with HIV and AIDS in 80’s, when the government refused to. Always been a LGBTQ rights advocate as well.
Rest in peace Dolly.
