Dolly Parton, the queen of heartfelt storytelling, revealed on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast that she’s pausing new music as she mourns her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean. Though her mind brims with beautiful song ideas, she can’t bring herself to finish them yet. “I can’t afford the luxury of getting that emotional right now,” she said, choosing to grieve quietly and authentically. With her 59th wedding anniversary spent at the church where they married, Dolly holds on to memories and faith, promising she’ll return to music when the time is right.
