Dolly Parton Never Wants To Retire
Dolly Parton turned 77 a few months back, but she’s not planning to hang it up anytime soon.
She did an interview with a radio station in the U.K. the other day and said her plan is to NEVER retire.
“I’ll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song onstage someday . . . hopefully one I’ve written. That’s how I hope to go.”
Dolly said the only thing that would slow her down is if her health goes downhill, or her husband gets sick. Otherwise, she wants to “make hay while the sun shines.”
She did say her touring days are behind her. She’ll still do shows here and there but doesn’t want to be on the road anymore.
But that doesn’t mean she is going to stop working.
Dolly said she wants to keep working on side projects, like her make-up line, and she’d love to do more movies.
She also wants to do a TV show about her life, and she’s even got a name for it . . . “Life of Many Colors”.
