‘With a career spanning over seven decades, Dolly Parton has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, touched countless lives through her compelling storytelling and numerous hits, and through her charitable works such as Dollywood and her endearing persona, she has brought joy and humor to many.’ – Vaughn Lowery
In the wake of beloved icon Dolly Parton‘s passing, her team is now diligently working to ensure that millions of worldwide fans will keep her numerous ongoing projects alive.
“Dolly worked up until the day she died. She loved seeing her dreams come to life, and loved knowing her work brought people joy. Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked, for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come,” says her longtime manager Danny Nozell. “As the leader of the team responsible for overseeing her legacy, we will ensure the many dreams she had yet to fulfill are brought to life. Many projects were in various stages of development, and we want to be transparent with her fans about this fact. If you see unreleased music, products, books, experiences, and campaigns launched through official Dolly Parton channels, you can have confidence in knowing that she placed her personal stamp on it.”
