President Donald Trump has ordered American flags across the United States to be flown at half-staff for one week following the death of country music legend Dolly Parton at age 80. The tribute begins at 6 p.m. on August 25 and continues through September 1.
Trump called Parton one of the greatest country singers of all time, saying her passing was a “true loss” for millions and that there had never been anyone quite like her.
A seven-decade career, unforgettable songs like Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You, and decades of philanthropy made Parton a beloved figure far beyond country music. Her legacy will continue through both her music and humanitarian work.
