Today, the UK country music community joins millions around the world in mourning the loss of a true icon.
Dolly Parton was far more than a brilliant songwriter and performer - her generosity through the Imagination Library touched millions of lives worldwide. Her work ethic, determination and spirit served as a blueprint for generations of artists, especially within our own community.
While her voice and personality will be deeply missed, her legacy will live on forever through her songs and the countless people she inspired.
Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and fans everywhere. Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for the music and the magic.
