Country music has lost its queen.
As we previously reported, Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday at a hospital in her native Tennessee.
And while no official cause of death has been revealed, the 80-year-old was open about her health problems in her final days, admitting that her physical condition had deteriorated following the death of her husband, Carl Dean.
“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl,” she told People on August 21, adding:
“You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this.
“Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health.”
Parton also lost her brother, Coy “Denver” Parton, in July.
Her trademark humor intact, Dolly went on to joke that she had been a fixture in the world of gossip for nearly 60 years:
“But I think because we live in a 24/7 world with social media, everything gets magnified in ways it wasn’t years ago,” she said, adding:
“I used to joke that I was the Queen of the Tabloids, but now I guess I can say I’m the Queen of Social Media AI! Seriously, though, even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’!
“You know me — as I’ve often said — I’ve dreamed myself into a corner and I still have so many things I want to achieve, so I’m gonna keep on working as long as I can to see everything come to life.”
In the wake of her passing, Parton’s colleagues in the world of country music rushed to social media to pay tribute:
“The world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden,” wrote fellow country singer Kacey Musgraves, adding:
“Dolly. This really really hurts. The world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden. So glad she’s with her Carl Dean. No one talk to me today.”
“Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side. Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth. Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart. There will never ever be another you,” Reba McEntire chimed in.
“Heartbroken today. Honestly… I have no words right now,” Keith Urban posted to Instagram.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, President Donald Trump ordered that flags be lowered to half staff Dolly’s honor:
“Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people,” he wrote, adding:
“There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you.”
Even in these divisive times, Americans are united by their love for Dolly Parton. Our condolences go out to her loved ones as they mourn the loss of a legend.

What Dolly Parton Loved To Eat At Dollywood
Dolly Parton’s love of food is well documented, so the food selection at her Dollywood theme park was carefully curated. Here’s her favorite dish.

It’s not a typo. The price of a gallon of gasoline in the northwest Alaska village of Shungnak was $26.82 on Friday, local residents and regional officials said, likely giving the community the dubious honor of having the most expensive gasoline in the United States.
“It is very much real,” said Glenda Douglas, who manages the store in Shungnak and posted a picture of the price on Facebook.
Across the United States, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $4.10 on Thursday.
Shungnak is about 280 river miles east of Kotzebue, up the Kobuk River, or 150 miles as the airplane flies. Air travel is the only reliable, year-round form of transportation.
In summer, the river is usually navigable by boat. In winter, residents travel by snowmachine. Last fall and for parts of this summer, water levels on the Kobuk were low enough to interrupt barge traffic, which contributed to the high price of gasoline.
“We sell groceries, diesel and gas,” Douglas said via Facebook message. “We had to get gas flown in twice this summer since (the) barge isn’t able to make it this way because the river water levels (are) too low. Just yesterday, the price was 13.99, but now it is 26.82.”
Shareholders in NANA Regional Corp. are eligible for a discount — they can buy gas for $21.46 per gallon.
Albie Dallemolle is NANA’s vice president of economic development and sustainability.
“Confirmed, Shungnak gasoline price is $26.82 per gallon, which had to be flown into the community,” she said by text message. “This price does reflect the highest cost for gasoline in the region … for now. Unfortunately, prices for gasoline and diesel are expected to increase once communities receive their fall barge deliveries.”
That’s because the current price is based in part on an average of the air-delivered fuel and cheaper barge-delivered fuel. New barge-delivered fuel, bought after the Iran War began, is expected to be more expensive than fuel bought before the war.
Shungnak frequently endures some of the highest fuel prices in Alaska.
In 2007, a gallon of regular unleaded was already $8.11 per gallon, so costly that the Wall Street Journal used the village as an example of what rural Alaska was experiencing that year. By 2022, the price was $14.03 per gallon, according to figures from the Northwest Arctic Borough.
In a message, Douglas said one thing that particularly concerns her is the fact that hunting season has arrived in the region.
Many people in the region practice a subsistence lifestyle, hunting and fishing for food they use to survive.
“(That price) is really going to hurt our hunters that pay for gas to hunt,” she said.
Nearly 100 days and more than $1.2 million beyond its original finish line, the 34th Alaska Legislature has finally run out of gas.
Months of political wrangling over a long-proposed natural gas pipeline from Alaska’s North Slope is set to carry…
