Dolly Parton Announces a Break from Music After Husband Carl Dean’s Passing: “All on Hold”
Dolly Parton, the beloved country music legend, has announced that she is stepping away from music following the recent passing of her husband, Carl Dean. In a candid interview on the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, Parton revealed that, while she is not retiring from music, she is putting her songwriting on pause as she processes her grief.
“I can’t do it. I can’t do it right now because I have so many other things that I can’t afford the luxury of, you know, getting emotional,” Parton shared with Khloé Kardashian. Though she admitted feeling “stalled” in her creative journey, Parton emphasized that this is not a permanent farewell to music.
“I’ll write something else, though, if it comes,” she added. “I’m just putting that all on hold.”Parton’s relationship with Dean, whom she met in 1964 outside a Nashville laundromat, spanned nearly 60 years. They married in 1966 and enjoyed a deeply private and loving partnership until his passing in March at the age of 82.
Just days after announcing Dean’s death on social media, Parton released a tribute song, “If You Hadn’t Been There,” writing in her post, “We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together. Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song.”
Despite the heartbreak, Parton’s creative spirit remains strong. “That’s my special thing,” she said of songwriting. “That, to me, is my joy—and it just happens to be my job.”
Though new music is on hold, Parton’s schedule remains filled with exciting projects. She is preparing for the world premiere of Dolly: A True Original Musical, an autobiographical stage production opening July 18 in Nashville. Directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, the musical will run through August 31 before heading to Broadway in 2025.
The show features original songs alongside some of Parton’s most beloved hits.In addition to her music career, Parton is also keeping busy with her business ventures, including her new line of single-serve frozen meals in collaboration with Conagra Brands and the celebration of Dollywood’s 40th anniversary.
Even through her grief, Parton continues to find strength in her faith and her memories of Dean. “I’m a person of faith, and I truly believe that I’m going to see him again someday,” she said.Parton, who has won 11 Grammy Awards and been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, remains humble, calling herself “just a workin’ girl” despite her iconic status.
