Country music legend Dolly Parton says she and Carl Dean - who inspired her timeless hit Jolene - 'spent many wonderful years together' following the man's death after nearly 60 years of marriage.
Singer Dolly Parton's husband Carl Dean has died at the age of 82 - with the country legend speaking of their “many wonderful years together.” Dolly, 79, announced his death on Monday morning after nearly 60 years of marriage.
The full statement read: "Carl Dean, husband of Dolly Parton, passed away on March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He was survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie. The couple had been married since 1966. Carl Dean famously never walked a red carpet in his life, stays well away from glamorous showbiz parties and doesn’t accompany Dolly on tour. Instead he quietly ran a paving company and potters away on their sprawling farm back in Tennessee.
"It’s all about the sweet little things he does like picking flowers for me, making my coffee in the morning. He is incredibly thoughtful and we love each other for all the same reasons.
