Dolly Parton is getting ready to be formally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on November 5th along with Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon. The induction will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and can be seen on HBO and HBO Max. Despite some controversy surrounding Dolly’s initial nomination and her bowing out of contention, she eventually came around to the idea, and was voted in.
Ahead of the Hall of Fame induction, Dolly Parton granted an interview with print publication Pollstar for this week’s cover story. Pollstar is one of the leading publications in live music and touring, and in the interview Dolly Parton dropped some pretty important news.
“I do not think I will ever tour again,” Dolly Parton confirms to the publication. “But I do know I’ll do special shows here and there, now and then. Maybe a long weekend of shows or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore. I’ve done that my whole life, and it takes so much time and energy.”
Though Dolly Parton has been so occupied with other pursuits, she hasn’t been an extensive touring artist since the earlier portions of her career, this does mark the end of an era. The last major tour Dolly Parton undertook was in 2016 around the release of her album Pure & Simple. Parton played 60 dates throughout Canada and the United States. read more about Dolly retiring Here.
