Legendary country music singer Dolly Parton has passed away at the age of 80 after a battle with cancer.

On the 25th (local time), U.S. media outlet PEOPLE reported that Dolly Parton died today at the age of 80 and had fought a short-term illness with cancer before her death. The specific type of cancer was not disclosed.

A representative stated in a press release, "The Dolly Parton we love has brought joy, laughter, hope, and authenticity to everyone she has touched throughout her life and career. Her unparalleled generosity has influenced the lives of countless people who have never met her, and she has always extended a helping hand."

It further added, "Whether it is hundreds of millions of books donated through her precious Imagination Library or research support that contributed to the development of life-saving vaccines used worldwide, Dolly's unconditional love for everyone was the driving force behind the impact she left behind."

The representative also said, "After bravely enduring a short battle with cancer, Dolly passed away today surrounded by her loved ones."

Recently, just a few days before her passing, Dolly Parton directly mentioned her declining health. She told PEOPLE, "I am experiencing some health issues. I have not been able to take proper care of my own health while taking care of my husband, Carl."

She continued, "This is not the first time I have faced such health problems. In the early 1980s, I was bedridden for several months due to a women's health issue, and at that time, I also struggled with weight problems. So, it is not true that I have never experienced difficult times due to health."

Dolly Parton, a legendary singer-songwriter known as the "Queen of Country Music," won 11Cha Rye (수상) Grammy Awards. She also worked as an actress and had a significant impact on American popular culture over several decades.
