Her music will live on forever.
Years before Dolly Parton died on Tuesday, she recorded a secret song that wonât be released until 2045.
In the âJoleneâ singerâs 2020 memoir, âSongteller: My Life in Lyrics,â she revealed that she wrote a song called âMy Place In Historyâ that is stored in a capsule at her Dollywood Theme Park.
After sharing the secret with the public, Parton joked about having regrets about deciding to keep the track locked away until her 99th birthday.
âI had to write this song that nobody was going to hear âtil then, and I tell you you have no idea how that has bothered me,â she said on âThe Kelly Clarkson Showâ in 2022.
âI want to go dig that up so bad,â she shared, adding that âitâs a really good song.â
âI donât know whose damn idea that was,â the Grammy winner quipped.
However, Parton said she was excited for the public to hear the new track.
âHopefully itâll be special. I have to honestly say, it was an odd feeling to be asked to write a song that was not going to be heard âtil [2045]. But itâs a good song,â she shared.
During an appearance on âThe Tonight Showâ that same year, Parton told host Jimmy Fallon, âI wonât be around to hear it. Iâll be dead and gone â well, I might not be, âcause Iâll be 99. You know me, I might still be hoppinâ around.â
As Page Six previously reported, Parton died on Tuesday at the age of 80.
The âI Will Always Love Youâ singerâs team revealed she secretly battled cancer before her shocking death.
