Dolly Parton, the country music legend behind hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5” as well as businesswoman, fashion icon, and philanthropist, has died. Her death was announced in a video featuring her nephew, Bryan Seaver, that was shared on Parton’s social media accounts. Seaver didn’t disclose a cause of death in the video.
He said that his aunt “has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by” her loved ones, including her husband Carl Dean, who died last year, as well as her parents and “countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the havens.” “She never saw a door she couldn’t open, and the doors she opened made and changed history,” Seaver said. She has always been on your television, your record player, your CD, and on your phone playlist, becoming an extended part of your family whether you liked it or not.”
