Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer, her management team said. Tributes poured in from across the world, with Katy Perry remembering her as “glam, funny and kind”. Taylor Swift said, “A world without Dolly Parton doesn’t feel possible, real, or right,” while Sir Paul McCartney called her a “bubbly” character whose singing and songwriting were unrivalled in country music. Fans left flowers and messages at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, mourning an icon who wrote more than 3,000 songs and supported major charitable causes. (PC: BBC)
