Eminem Reveals Heartfelt Note Dolly Parton Wrote Him for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Eminem said Parton’s note praised his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and showed the mutual admiration between the two 2022 inductees.
Music superstar Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee at 80 years old, prompting widespread tributes from the entertainment world.
Her representatives revealed Parton died after a brief battle with cancer, following a year of unspecified health issues that forced her to cancel her 2025 Las Vegas residency.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper Eminem shared a heartfelt note Parton sent after their 2022 Rock Hall induction, writing that receiving the letter "really had an impact on me."
Fellow musicians Paul McCartney, Billy Ray Cyrus, and George Strait offered tributes, while Metro Detroit songwriter Jill Jack posted, "Dolly Parton you were always an inspiration to me."
Parton's influence spans decades; White Stripes musician White recorded her 1974 song "Jolene" as a B-side, while her podcast remarks about releasing new material continue inspiring artists.
