  "account": "Dolly Parton, who passed away at the age of 80 due to cancer, has left behind a legacy that will be celebrated through Dollyfest, a two-day festival. The festival, originally planned for January 2026, will instead take place in Nashville and London in 2027. Dollyfest will honor Parton's memory, rather than her passing, as she had wished for a private ceremony attended only by her immediate family. The festival is set to commemorate her remarkable career and impact.",
