Chris Stapleton paid tribute to Dolly Parton on Wednesday night, just one day after the country legend’s death.
The country superstar was performing a show at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York as part of his All-American Road Show Tour. In the midst of his set, he took a break from delivering his original tunes to honor Parton following the announcement of her passing on Tuesday, August 25.
At the time, Parton’s nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, shared the heartbreaking news of her death, remembering his aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean as a “sister, sis, Aunt, Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next.”
In the hours following her death, more details about her final days began to emerge. We learned that Parton had been hospitalized at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville on Aug. 21 after experiencing kidney and autoimmune issues. Her representatives later confirmed that she had also been privately battling cancer.
As countless tributes, memories and condolences poured in from around the world, Stapleton offered his own moving tribute from the stage. The crowd fell silent while a black and white image of Parton appeared on the screen while Stapleton began delivering the emotional rendition of her beloved classic “I Will Always Love You,” creating one of the most powerful musical tributes to the late icon so far.

There’s no telling just how many times people have performed this timeless hit, but it’s safe to say that Stapleton’s is one that stands out. His unmistakable, gritty tone and impressive vocal range brought a raw and soulful edge to the song as he allowed the emotion of Parton’s lyrics to take center stage in a way that felt deeply respectful. The crowd eventually broke out into a massive singalong in remembrance of the multifaceted entertainer.
After closing out the final note, Stapleton went on to reflect on the lasting impact Parton had on music and the people lucky enough to know her. He encouraged the crowd to carry forward the kindness and generosity she was known for.
“Dolly Parton was one of the greatest musical…kindest and sweetest people we’ve ever had on this planet earth and we should be grateful for what she’s given us and we should follow her example. I had the pleasure to meet her a few times and work with her a little bit and she was everything that she ever dreamed that she would have been. We will all miss her very much. I miss her tonight and every night after this,” he admitted.
Stapleton and Parton worked together on a few occasions, like he mentioned, one being on Parton’s 2023 cover album, Rockstar, where they teamed up for a rendition of Bob Seger’s “Night Moves.”
Chris Stapleton joins the country music community in mourning the loss of someone who’s legacy will continue to live on through her music, philanthropy and her many various projects she poured her heart into throughout her legendary career.

As you’ve certainly heard by now, Dolly Parton passed away this week at the age of 80.
The country music legend was one of the most beloved public figures of her time, but it seems that in private, she struggled with doubts and anxieties that plague most people at one point or another.
In a newly resurfaced interview, Dolly candidly opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced in the mid-1980s.
At the time, the singer was dealing with major health problems and the realization that she might never have children with her husband, Carl Dean.
Parton’s depressive episode came after she began experiencing menopause and underwent a partial hysterectomy.
The procedure left her unable to have children, something that became an enormous source of emotional pain.
Dolly also admitted that she felt guilty about putting her career ahead of motherhood. She had spent years building a remarkable career, but she couldn’t help wondering whether she had made the wrong choices.
The emotional toll became so severe that Parton described herself as suicidal.
“Then one day, I just said to myself, ‘Right, get off your fat b-tt, or if you really are suicidal, then go and shoot your brains out. But get your misery out of other people’s lives and shut up!’” she recalled (via Radar Online).
Despite everything she had accomplished, Parton admitted she sometimes imagined what life would have been like if she had become a mother.
“I think I would have made a nice mama,” she said.
Parton and Dean had tried to have children for many years. She explained that she had initially put motherhood on hold because her career was thriving and she was taking birth control pills. After eventually stopping the medication, however, she still did not become pregnant.
Over time, Parton found a way to make peace with that part of her life.
“I don’t feel sad about it,” she explained, saying she came to believe that perhaps God had another purpose for her.
Dolly ultimately devoted enormous energy to helping children through her charitable work, including her beloved Imagination Library. She came to view her relationship with children around the world as part of a larger plan.
“I thought maybe God didn’t want me to have kids so that everybody else’s kids could be mine,” she said.
Parton’s relationship with Dean remained another source of strength throughout her life. The couple married in 1966 and remained together for nearly six decades until his death in March 2025.
In a 2024 appearance on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, Parton reflected on the secret to their long-lasting relationship.
“We never fought back and forth,” she explained, adding that either one could use humor to break the tension when things became difficult.
Dean died at 82. Seventeen months later, Parton died at 80 following a brief battle with cancer.
Her private struggles serve as another reminder that even the brightest public personas can conceal profound pain.

Leah Remini is coming to Bravo!
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is adding two new (famous) faces.
Remini is recently divorced following a marriage that spanned decades. She is also famous for her anti-Scientology advocacy.
This casting decision is a genuinely good move by Bravo.
Welcome to ‘Real Housewives,’ Leah Remini!
Andy Cohen has been cooking!
Bravo has selected the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the upcoming Season 16.
Two new women are joining. Neither are strangers to cameras, and most viewers will recognize one if not both.
One is Million Dollar Listing star Tracy Tutor.
The other is Leah Remini, famous actress and famous anti-Scientology activist.
Normally, we’d have to quibble (however politely) about reports on casting.
However, when the news broke on Instagram, Remini replied.
“It’s true!!” she wrote, sharing the post so that her own followers wouldn’t have to find out from someone else.
The Season 16 cast will also include Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, and Rachel Zoe.
We’ll be seeing Jennifer Tilly as a “Friend of” this season. Unfortunately, we can also expect Kathy Hilton to show up as well. (We’re not Kathy haters, but she does bring a weird tension to the show that’s just not as fun as it should be.)
What storylines is she likely to have?
Sometimes, we can only guess at what storylines will jump out with a cast member. That remains true of even big names in the entertainment industry.
(Who among us would have predicted Denise Richards’ biggest storyline when she was first cast?)
In the case of Lean Remini, however, we do know two big things that she has gone through that will, at the very least, inform her choices and attitudes.
The first is that she is divorced. In 2024, she and her long-time husband split after over two decades of marriage. That is an adjustment, even two years out.
More famously, Remini’s innocent questions about Shelly Miscavige’s whereabouts in 2006 led to her apparent persecutions by the Church of Scientology. Eventually, she and her family escaped from the widely condemned organization, and she has used her platform to speak out against them ever since.
Within a couple of years of escaping the Church of Scientology, Leah Remini and her immediately family converted to Catholicism.
Though Catholicism is a religion and has never, to our knowledge, been classified as a predatory business by any government entity, there are some superficial and structural similarities.
This seems like a natural leap for someone who grew up in Scientology, as both are powerful institutions that own property all over the world, have a confessional apparatus, and are deeply controversial.
It is unclear if Remini’s new beliefs will be a factor as she joins the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, however.
We may end up seeing her work, her relationships, her activism, or even feuds as she enters her Bravo era. It could be exciting!
