Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at 80.
President Donald Trump has called for all national flags throughout the country to be flown at half-mast following the death of Country music icon Dolly Parton, who passed away at the age of 80 on Tuesday, August 25.
Parton's death comes less than 18 months following the death of her husband, Carl Dean, who died at the age of 82 last year.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said there has never been anyone like Parton.
"Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you," he said.
