The Country Legend Drops Unreleased Songs
Dolly Parton took to Instagram on her 78th birthday to announce a surprise gift for her fans – the release of four never-before-heard songs along with a deluxe edition of her album “Rockstar.” The new songs will be available to stream or download on all major platforms. Parton thanked her fans and said she hoped they would enjoy the new music.
The Rockstar Deluxe Album Release
Parton’s “Rockstar” album was initially released in November 2021 featuring 20 iconic cover songs and 9 original tracks. The deluxe edition will include the previously unreleased tracks mentioned in Parton’s birthday announcement. When the album was first released, Parton expressed her joy at being able to sing such iconic songs and collaborate with famous musicians. The deluxe version gives fans even more music to enjoy from the diverse rock-inspired album.
A Past Invitation from Kate Middleton
Parton recently revealed that she had to turn down an invitation from Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, for afternoon tea due to a scheduling conflict. Parton said she was honored by the invitation but had work commitments. She expressed interest in potentially having tea with Kate in the future to discuss their shared passion for helping children. Both Parton and Kate have established notable philanthropic initiatives focused on childhood development and education.
Meeting Queen Elizabeth and Her Impression
Parton has crossed paths with royalty before, having met Queen Elizabeth II at her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977. She recalled being nervous about properly curtsying but found the Queen to be “very warm, very sweet.” Meeting the monarch was an amazing experience, according to Parton. Even decades later, Parton remains a well-known name in the UK and has connections to its royal family.
Fans Send Birthday Wishes
In the comments of Parton’s Instagram post, many fans wished her a happy birthday and expressed excitement over the new music release. They thanked and praised the country legend for both her musical talents and philanthropic efforts that have helped children worldwide over the many decades of her illustrious career.
