Shania Twain, Céline Dion, Orville Peck & More Canadian Artists Pay Tribute to Dolly Parton

Following a battle with cancer, the country-pop music icon’s family took to social media to announce that Parton had passed away at the age of 80 in Nashville.

Tributes are pouring in from musicians and other notable people for Dolly Parton, the late country-pop music icon who passed away following a battle with cancer at the age of 80 in Nashville yesterday (Aug. 25). That includes many Canadian icons.

Over the past year, Parton had been out of the public eye, citing unspecified health issues that forced the hitmaker to forego public appearances, including her planned 2025 Las Vegas residency, which was postponed and then cancelled. Following Parton’s death, her team revealed that she passed away due to an undisclosed form of cancer. Her death came 17 months after the passing of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, who died last March.
