Dolly Parton is a household name in both country music and the celebrity sphere.
The Tennessee native has become nothing short of a legend and, despite performing and singing pretty much her entire life, she has loved to entertain her legions of fans.
But now the 76-year-old superstar has officially announced that she will cease touring, even as she continues creating more music.
Dolly Parton, in a recent interview with Pollystar, explained that she will not be touring anymore. She explained:
”I’ll do special shows here and there, now and then. Maybe do a long weekend of shows or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.”
Instead, the 76-year-old country music star will continue to make music and will focus her energies on spending time with her beloved husband, Carl Thomas Dean.
In 1964, Dolly met Carl Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time, Dolly was 18 years of age, and Carl was 21. Straight away, Carl realized something exceptional about the young lady.
“My first thought was, ‘I’m gonna marry that girl,’” Dean said in a statement of the moment they met, as quoted by Entertainment Tonight.
