The world is mourning Dolly Parton, who has died at the age of 80.
The country music icon passed away Tuesday, just days after being hospitalized in Nashville.

According to People, Parton was taken to the hospital on Friday, August 21, amid kidney and autoimmune issues. That same day, she acknowledged that she was “dealing with some health issues.”
