Dolly Parton Taking Break From Songwriting After Husband’s Death

DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, JUL 10 – Dolly Parton paused songwriting after Carl Dean's March death, citing emotional difficulty; she remains active in projects and plans to return when ready, she said.

  • Dolly Parton has decided to pause her songwriting following the passing of her longtime spouse, Carl Thomas Dean, earlier this year at age 82.
  • Dean had been ill for some time before his death, and Parton described adjusting to life without him as a big change in patterns and habits.
  • Parton and Dean shared over 60 years together after meeting outside a Nashville laundromat, marrying two years later, and building a long-lasting partnership.
  • Parton mentioned that she may create new work down the line and expressed appreciation for the support from her fans while saying she will always keep Dean close to her heart.
  • This pause in songwriting reflects Parton's current grieving process, but she remains confident she will produce new music when the time feels right.
