Harry Styles and John Mayer honor Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton died on 25 August 2026 at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer, her nephew Bryan Seaver and representatives said. Her representatives noted her philanthropic impact, citing hundreds of millions of books donated through the Imagination Library and funding that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used worldwide. On 26 August, Harry Styles paused his Madison Square Garden show and asked the audience to dance and raise phone lights as "I Will Always Love You" played, and John Mayer closed a SiriusXM set with the same song. Parton had spoken publicly about recent health struggles days earlier.
