Dolly Parton is 77 years old, and it feels like she is never going to slow down. However, she told Ken Bruce on his radio show on Greatest Hits Radio that she is no longer touring.
So does that mean she is retiring from everything else after almost working hard for almost 60 years in the music business? “I’ll never retire. I’ll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song on stage someday. Hopefully, one I’ve written. But that is how I hope to go.” she said. “As long as I am able to work. As long as my health is good, and my husband’s is good. [That is] the only way I will slow down or stop for that reason.”
And the singer is not planning on stopping anytime soon. She will still be performing at special concerts and festivals. She just won’t do a full-on tour because that will take up about two years of life with prep and being on the road.
So she listed all the things she dreams of doing before she sings her literal swan song. Miss Parton wants her own network television show that will tell the adventures of exciting and interesting life, host more TV shows, do more movies, and have a makeup line, a line of wigs, and clothes.
So this is not the last we will see of her; she will be everywhere if she has her way. And I hope she does because we can never have enough Dolly Parton!
