Dolly Parton Announces First-Ever Rock Album Filled with Star-Studded Collaborations!

Oprah Winfrey said Tina Turner was “our forever goddess of rock ‘n’ roll” and hailed her courage as a domestic abuse survivor following her death. The US TV talk show host said Turner was “a role model not only for me but for the world”, as she paid tribute to the singer. Turner, one of rock’s most famous voices – with hits including Proud Mary and The Best – died at the age of 83 at her home in Switzerland on Wednesday after a long illness.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tina Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, rarely failed to electrify, not just in person but with cameras as her conduit to the audience, too. Longtime Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich worked with Turner on programs from the late ’70s through the late ’90s, and he shared his memories with Variety of three particularly memorable TV performances. The first of these was in 1985, when she sang “What’s Love Got to Do With It” on the Grammys, the same year she won record of the year for that song — arguably the peak of her career, though she’d been revered for a quarter-century before that and would become a bigger superstar still in the next 25 years to follow. The second appearance he singles out is a duet between Turner and Elton John for a 1999 “VH1 Divas” special that got more fiery behind the scenes than necessary, albeit possibly to its benefit. Finally, he was an integral part of one of Turner’s last great TV spots, a highly copacetic duet with Beyoncé on the 2008 Grammys telecast.

Garth Brooks admitted he once accidentally showered with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Brooks, 61, shared the moment during an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show." "I showered with him," Brooks told Clarkson while the two were discussing Aerosmith.  The country music star and Tyler both performed at a Billy Joel concert in July 2008. "We were playing the ‘Last Play at Shea’(with) Billy Joel.They're getting ready to tear down Shea Stadium in New York, and I go out there, and I'm late anyway, and they just have the baseball showers," he recalled.

Britney Spears is reportedly working on “an album of duets” following the success of her single Hold Me Closer with Sir Elton John. It is believed the Toxic hitmaker, 41, is lining up collaborations with the likes of Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and Sam Smith, who have all publicly said they’re fans of the pop superstar. The Gimme More songstress hasn’t released an album since 2016 – but The Sun has reported that while she has no plans to promote new music, a duets album is an opportunity for her to “connect” with her fans.

Dolly Parton gave Garth Brooks a little more than he bargained for as co-host of the Academy of Country Music Awards Thursday. During the 2023 ACMs opening monologue at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, Brooks took a minute to honor Parton, the "G.O.A.T." The acronym stands for "greatest of all time." On cue, Dolly rolled out on stage with a live goat in a wagon and jokingly said, "Did I hear you say you were looking for a goat? I've got your goat right here." They shared kind exchanges back and forth before Dolly mentioned hearing she's a "hall pass" for Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood. "I just had a thought," Parton said.
