Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean. She also shared updates on her ongoing projects, including a new Broadway musical and her Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville.

The tour will focus on promoting health care and education programmes run by US foreign aid organisation USAID.
She will also visit Kenya, Malawi and Egypt to foster diplomatic relations.
In February, a row broke out after President Donald Trump allegedly used the word "shithole" to describe African nations.
Mrs Trump's week-long trip to the continent is seen as helping to heal some of the divisions.
She will also promote her Be Best initiative which aims to tackle issues such as cyberbullying and boost healthy living. She tweeted that the campaign was going "international".
Ahead of her trip Mrs Trump said that she was looking forward to visiting "four beautiful and very different countries in Africa".
"She is interested in Africa because she has never been before and knows that each country will have its own unique history and culture." Stephanie Grisham, her communications director, said.
She said that she was looking forward to better understand how the US can continue working together with Malawi to support a USAid program that is focussed on children's education.
Mrs Trump also highlighted the work the US was doing in Kenya to support early-childhood education, wildlife conservation, and HIV prevention.
"My final stop, which is Egypt, will focus on the country's tourism and conservation projects, but I know that through USAid, we have worked with the people of Egypt to promote an environment in which all groups of society - including women and religious minorities - can lead productive and healthy lives," she said.
The US first lady was welcomed by traditional drummers and dancers at the Kotoka International Airport in the capital, Accra.
However, according to Ghanaian journalist Elizabeth Ohene, there is not an atmosphere of Trump-mania in Ghana.
"I think Melania is a great woman. Her story is particularly inspiring," one resident of Accra told the BBC.
But another compared her unfavourably to former First Lady Michelle Obama who was warmly received with her husband on a trip in 2009.
Ahead of his wife's trip to Africa President Trump told reporters: "We both love Africa. Africa is so beautiful. The most beautiful part of the world, in many ways."
This view is at odds with comments he allegedly made in a private discussion in February,
Mr Trump was accused of racism, after he was reported to have used the word "shithole" to refer to African nations when talking about immigration policy.
The African Union asked him to apologise over the comment.
He later told reporters: "I am not a racist. I'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed."
