According to American media sources (including), Dolly Parton’s 81-year-old husband suffers from Alzheimer’s. Despite the fact that the star only released a new album a few days ago entitled “Rockstar”, which is highly promoted in the United States, the singer apparently decided to suspend her career.
Dolly Parton changes her plans. He puts family first
The singer decided that she wanted to be as close to her husband as possible until his condition worsened. Additionally, Parton wants to oversee his care. As reported by the independent weekly “National Enquirer”:
Dolly has been giving concerts for a long time, but since her husband’s health comes first, she decided to withdraw from her plans and focus on what is most important to her – her family. He wants to make sure they enjoy every last moment they spend together.
The couple has been together for over 60 years, but despite Dolly Parton’s great popularity, little is known about her husband. They married in 1966 and are still happily married, but Carl Thomas Dean decided that he did not want to participate in public activities with his wife. Because of this, many people still don’t even know what a man looks like.
Despite many questions about her partner, Parton has repeatedly said that this is not his world. “He’s not like that. He’s a quiet, somewhat withdrawn person, and he realized that if he ever got to this world, he would never find peace. And he’s right. He told me: I didn’t choose this world, I chose you, and you chose this world. We can lead separate lives but be together. And that’s what we do,” said the singer in an interview for “Entertainment Tonight”.
