Dolly Parton, the country music legend and cultural icon, died on Tuesday at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer. She passed away at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by loved ones, as announced by her nephew Bryan Seaver in a social media video.
Parton’s death has prompted widespread tributes, with Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee proposing to rename Nashville International Airport in her honor. Lee said on Friday that he and airport managers wanted to create “a lasting tribute to her indelible legacy,” noting that Parton’s team had been “touched by the idea.” The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority is scheduled to address the proposal at a meeting on Sept. 17. A petition supporting the rename has gathered over 150,000 signatures, and a plane towing a banner urging the change flew over the state capitol on Friday.
Parton, a 11-time Grammy winner, built a career spanning more than five decades, selling over 100 million records and releasing nearly 50 albums. She was known for hits like *Jolene* and *I Will Always Love You*, the latter popularized by Whitney Houston. Her 2014 Glastonbury performance drew what was reportedly the festival’s largest crowd, with Parton performing in a crystal-studded white suit while playing a rhinestone saxophone. She also acted, ran a philanthropic empire, and founded initiatives like the Imagination Library, which promoted childhood literacy internationally.
Tributes have poured in from across the political and cultural spectrum. Donald Trump called her “irreplaceable,” while the Socialist Party of America hailed her as a “heroine of the working class.” Artists including Paul McCartney, Jane Fonda, Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Mick Jagger have also honored her. The LGBTQ community, in particular, celebrated her as a unifying figure, with one German outlet noting her ability to “kittens a divided country” through her style and generosity .
Parton requested a private funeral and will be buried beside her husband, Carl Dean, at Nashville’s Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum. She had previously said she wanted Whitney Houston’s rendition of *I Will Always Love You* played at her service, along with the gospel hymn *If We Never Meet Again*, her father’s favorite. In a 2014 interview, she joked that she deserved to rest “in a beautiful bed of plush cotton” after a lifetime of wearing heavy rhinestones.
Fans have gathered at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and the King’s Guard band performed her hit *9 to 5* outside Buckingham Palace. The Empire State Building lit up in her honor on the day of her death.
