Eminem has shared a deeply personal note Dolly Parton once sent him following his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, shortly after news of her death at 80.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country music legend and philanthropist Dolly Parton died on Tuesday, August 25, at the age of 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news was shared by her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, in a brief video posted to Instagram. He explained that Dolly had personally asked him to be the person to announce her passing when the time came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her team later released a statement remembering her warmth, kindness, and ability to make people feel like family, while highlighting a seven-decade career defined by love, compassion, generosity, and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eminem’s Emotional Tribute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As musicians, celebrities, and fans around the world shared their memories of Parton, Eminem revealed a personal keepsake: a handwritten letter Dolly sent him in 2022 after he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the heartfelt note, Dolly congratulated Eminem on the major achievement. She admitted that she wasn’t very familiar with rap music, but said she had come to understand that he was among the very best at what he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also shared a surprisingly personal sentiment, explaining that she had always felt an unusual connection to him, almost as though she already knew him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parton said she had hoped to meet Eminem at the Hall of Fame ceremony but never got the opportunity. She encouraged him to continue doing what he does, telling him that his work reaches people in ways he may not even realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eminem shared the handwritten message on X, reflecting on the fact that the two never had the chance to meet face-to-face. He said the fact that Dolly took the time to write to him meant a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remembered her as an icon and a superstar in every sense of the words, even for someone who, as he put it, grew up mostly listening to rap music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He closed his tribute with a simple message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRest easy Dolly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The note offers a touching glimpse into the mutual respect between two artists from very different musical worlds\u2014and a lasting reminder of the kindness Dolly Parton showed to people throughout her remarkable life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
