"Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched," her team said in a statement.

Having written thousands of songs across her decades-long career, Parton said songwriting was her greatest form of self-expression. She has described the Opry as the "church of my heart" and said performing there was a lifelong dream.
