“Queen of Country” Dolly Parton passed away yesterday in Nashville after a brief battle with cancer, according to her publicist and nephew.
Over her six-decade career, the iconic singer behind “9 to 5” and “Jolene” sold more than 100 million records and won 11 Grammy Awards.
She made a successful leap to Hollywood and earned several Golden Globe nominations.
The legendary singer and songwriter noted in a recent interview that she had been managing health issues.
