A touching gesture! Dolly Parton (77) has been on stage for more than 50 years and is one of the most successful country musicians in history. In her career, the “Jolene” interpreter has already won ten Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her fans are particularly important to Dolly. She is now fulfilling one of his last heartfelt wishes for a seriously ill admirer.
The American LeGrand Gold suffers from terminal cancer. As he tells KSL, after the diagnosis he made a list of wishes for his life. One of his dreams: Dolly Parton meet. And just before Christmas this came true. The 77-year-old couldn’t be there in person, but she called him. “She sang a song and put my name in the song. I feel like I’m immortal now. That was really cool,” LeGrand enthuses. Dolly I thanked him afterwards. She also hoped that she could cheer him up a little.
The singer isn’t having an easy time herself at the moment: her husband Carl Thomas Dean has been suffering from Alzheimer’s for a long time. He’s not supposed to be doing particularly well at the moment. “With her husband’s health a priority, she has decided to step away from the stage to focus on what matters most – family,” an insider recently told National Enquirer.
