The Grand Ole Opry will dedicate its Saturday night show to Dolly Parton, honoring the country music legend following her death at age 80.
The Opry announced the special tribute as part of a wider remembrance of Parton’s life and career. The Nashville institution had a long connection with the singer, who became an Opry member in 1969 and remained closely associated with its history for more than five decades.
The tribute is set to feature performances celebrating songs from Parton’s extensive catalog. Carly Pearce, whose own career has strong ties to Parton and Dollywood, is among the artists connected to the event.
