<p>Country music legend  and actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dolly-parton-reacts-to-making-it-into-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dolly Parton</a> has no plans to retire, according to a recent radio interview — in fact, if she gets her way, she&#8217;ll simply &#8220;drop dead in the middle of a song on stage.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dolly-parton-has-turned-down-medal-of-freedom-awards-from-trump-and-biden-for-different-reasons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parton</a> made the confession during a Thursday appearance on &#8220;Greatest Hits Radio,&#8221; adding that she planned to continue singing and performing as long as her body could handle the physical stress of the job.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would never retire. I’ll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song onstage someday,&#8221; the 77-year-old &#8220;Steel Magnolias&#8221; star said, noting that she did realize there was a certain amount of chance involved. &#8220;That’s how I hope to go. Of course, we don’t have much of a choice in that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Parton also hinted that she might slow down if her husband Carl Thomas Dean – to whom she has been married since 1966 – needed her to do so.</p>
<p>&#8220;As long as I’m able to work, as long as my health is good and my husband is good. I mean, the only way that I would ever slow down or stop would be for that reason, but in the meantime, I’m gonna make hay while the sun shines,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>In a way, Parton said she felt like she had an obligation to keep working as long as she could because she&#8217;d been fortunate enough to have the chance to do what she loved in the first place.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every dream kind of spawns another dream. You can branch off of almost anything that happens and make a business of that as well,&#8221; Parton explained, adding, &#8220;So it’s kind of like a tree with good roots – it’s got a lot of limbs and it’s also got a lot of leaves. So, why not make the most of it? And I’m not one to sit around doing nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to starring in several movies, the songstress holds the record for the most studio albums ever released by a woman in the country music industry.</p>
