Dolly Parton does not want a statue of her to be erected at the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville any time soon. The singer says in a statement on Instagram that she finds it inappropriate at this time.
Fans of the singer had long been lobbying for a statue of her in Nashville, Tennessee. For example, a petition was started to replace all statues of historical figures with a racist past with a statue of Parton. Last month, a politician submitted an official request to honor the singer.
Although the singer, known for songs like 9 to 5 in Jolene, finds it an honor, she does not want the plans to go ahead. “I would like to thank the Tennessee legislature for considering placing a statue of me.
“Considering all that’s going on in the world, it doesn’t seem appropriate to put me on a pedestal. I will stand proud as a grateful Tennessee resident. “
Parton says she wants to work until then to make her state proud.
