Fox News
Dolly Parton announced that she has no intention of touring again in her lifetime, despite creating new music, as she wants to be closer to her husband and home.
At 76 years old, the country legend is still churning out new music but wants to enjoy a simpler life with her husband, Carl Thomas Dean.
Speaking of touring, Parton says, "I’ve done that my whole life, and it takes so much time and energy. I like to stay a little closer to home with my husband. We’re getting older now, and I don’t want to be gone for four or five weeks at a time. Something could happen. I would not feel right about that, if I were gone and somebody needed me. Or I would feel bad if I had to leave a tour if somebody got sick at home and needed me and then I had to walk out on the fans."
