Dolly Parton has been a country music icon for more than 50 years and has no plans to stop anytime soon.
“I would never retire,” Parton said last week during an interview with Ken Bruce on the UK’s “Greatest Hits Radio,” going on to joke she will “just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song on stage someday – hopefully one I’ve written.”
Equating the growth of each dream she has to “a tree with good roots,” she went on to admit, with a laugh, “I’m not one to sit around doing nothing.”Despite being decades into an iconic career as one of the most beloved country music stars in history, she continues to create new magic and hop genres.
“They put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I thought that I should have a decent record to represent that,” she told Bruce, adding as a country artist she felt she “oughta do something to earn my keep” in the world of rock.
