\nBut now the iconic superstar has officially announced that she will cease touring, even as she continues creating more music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton, in a\u00a0recent interview<\/a>\u00a0with Pollystar, explained that she would not be touring anymore. She explained:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201dI\u2019ll do special shows here and there, now and then. Maybe do a long weekend of shows, or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton, who managed to reach the very top of world entertainment after growing up in poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, will certainly be missed on the stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the 77-year-old country music star will continue to make music, and instead of touring, she will focus her energies on spending time with her beloved husband, Carl Thomas Dean.<\/p>\n

In 1964, Dolly met Carl Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time, Dolly was 18 years of age, and Carl was 21. Straight away, Carl realized something exceptional about the young lady.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first thought was, \u2018I\u2019m gonna marry that girl,\u2019\u201d Dean said in a statement of the moment they met, as quoted by\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cMy second thought was, \u2018Lord she\u2019s good lookin\u2019.\u2019 And that was the day my life began. I wouldn\u2019t trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean was sitting in his pickup truck when he saw Dolly and \u201chollered\u201d at her, as she recalled in an interview with the NY Times in 1976.<\/p>\n

However, she declined a date with him. Instead, she invited him over when she babysat her nephew just days after. It was the start of a love story that never ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
