The world has lost a true musical legend.

A remarkable singer, songwriter, entertainer and storyteller whose music was deeply rooted in the traditions of Appalachia—including the banjo.

Her talent, generosity, humor and unmistakable spirit touched generations. We join the millions around the world in celebrating her extraordinary life and legacy.

Thank you for the music, Dolly.
