President Donald Trump has ordered US flags to be flown at half-staff in tribute to country music icon Dolly Parton, who passed away at the age of 80. Parton's family confirmed her death through a video statement on social media. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his sorrow, stating, "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." The President emphasized that "There has never been anyone like her, and never will." To honor her memory, Trump has directed the American flag to be lowered for a week, starting tonight at 6:00 pm. Dolly Parton was a prolific songwriter, with chart-topping hits like "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," and "I Will Always Love You," amassing over 100 million records sold globally and more than a billion online streams.
Raised in a family of 12 children in poverty-stricken Tennessee, Parton's music career was profoundly shaped by her humble beginnings.
