Country music legend Dolly Parton says not to put her on a pedestal — at least not yet.
Don't put Dolly Parton on a pedestal — at least not yet.
The country icon issued a statement Thursday on Twitter saying that while she's grateful to lawmakers in her native Tennessee for wanting to honor her with a statue at the State Capitol, she feels that now isn't the right time.
"I want to thank the Tennessee legislature for their consideration of a bill to erect a statue of me on the Capitol grounds," Parton said. "I am honored and humbled by their intention but I have asked the leaders of the state legislature to remove the bill from any and all consideration. Given all that's going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time."
