Obituary: Dolly Parton (1946–2025) Country music legend and national treasure Dolly Parton passed away peacefully in her sleep just 36 hours after the shocking, consecutive deaths of Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne. The world mourns the loss of not just a voice, but a heart that radiated rhinestones and kindness in equal measure. Sources close to Dolly say she simply “couldn’t bear a world without Hulk’s flex and Ozzy’s screech.” Heaven just got itself one hell of a trio. She is survived by millions of fans, 3 billion sequins, and the Smoky Mountains.
