Dolly Parton died in August after battling cancer
The rapper, 38, and the British singer channeled the late icon months after her death at 80. Parton died on August 25 after a brief battle with cancer.
At the time, an official statement was shared by Bryan Seaver, the son of Parton’s sister Cassie Parton. He said, “This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality.”
“It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light, and is in the arms of Jesus. Surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens,” Seaver added.
